PREFACE 

At the Annual Town Meeting, held March 20, 1905, 
a committee was chosen, consisting of Mr. George F. 
Chase, chairman, Mr. John C. Crane, Mr. Ira N. Goddard, 
Mr. George W. Mallalieu, and the Rev. George A. Put- 
nam, to consider Millbury's past history, especially its 
industries, with a view to the publication of a history of 
the town. Accordingly, at intervals in the succeeding 
years this committee met and made plans for the compila- 
tion of such a work. One member of the committee, Mr. 
John C. Crane, had already for many years been privately 
gathering literary material pertaining to the industries, 
institutions, and individuals of the town, and this collection 
became the nucleus for the present volume. For a year 
Mr. Crane continued his labors of compilation and read 
his manuscript to the committee regularly at its meetings 
and, in recognition of his enthusiastic and patient work, 
the committee voted to express its appreciation of the 
"valuable, devoted and loving labors of Mr. John C. Crane 
in compiling the History of Millbury." 

In 1910, two vacancies had been created on the com- 
mittee, one through the death of Mr. Mallalieu and the 
other through the removal from the town of the Rev. Mr. 
Putnam. Consequently, at the annual town meeting in 
that year Mr. Henry W. Carter and Mr. Henry A. Phillips 
were appointed to fill these vacancies and they have con- 
tinued in their service on the committee. 

In the year preceding the celebration of the centen- 
nial anniversary of the incorporation of the town, Henry 
W. Aiken, Esq., was added to the committee, making the 
number composing its membership six. In 1913, Mr. 
Goddard died and as his place has not been filled the num- 
ber on the committee has continued to be the same as it 
was originally. 

At the meeting of the committee, held March 28, 1912, 
Mr. Henry A. Phillips was chosen secretary of the 



4 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

committee. Owing to the illness of the chairman of the 
committee Mr. Aiken presided at its meetings for several 
months, and since the retirement of Mr. Chase from the 
chairmanship on account of ill health, two years ago, Mr. 
Aiken has served as chairman of the committee. 

Supplementing the labors of compilation performed 
by Mr. Crane, the Rev. Robert W. Dunbar, after the Cen- 
tennial Celebration, was chosen by the committee to revise 
the material and prepare it for publication. In addition 
to the material collected, however, many old deeds (all 
the oldest so far as we have knowledge) as well as the 
Proprietors' Book of Sutton were consulted so as to ascer- 
tain, so far as possible, the facts concerning the earliest 
industries of the locality. The chapters concerning the 
Revolutionary War, the Civil War and the Blackstone 
Canal were very much enlarged and the entire book has 
been rewritten or freshly constructed. Thus this history 
is in a sense a composite production, for eight different men 
have served on the committee, but the whole compilation 
has been edited by Mr. Dunbar. 

In the preparation of such a history the stopping- 
place is largely an arbitrary one, as there is always more 
description of places, people, or events, that might be 
included and more painstaking care may ever be exer- 
cised in revising the manuscript, but the committee pre- 
sents the history of the town believing that the book gives 
a true idea of Millbury happenings, together with such 
particular chronicles of people, societies, and institutions, 
as to leave little of importance that remains uncovered. 
As the book is a growth, rather than the working out 
of a previously adopted scheme, the committee feels that, 
perhaps, the work is even more representative of the life 
of the town than it otherwise might have been. 

The committee wishes to express its thanks to the 
many persons who have so freely offered what information 
they may have possessed in order that these chronicles 
might be complete.

TOPOGRAPHY 11 



CHAPTER I. 
TOPOGRAPHY 

Millbury was fashioned by nature to be a manufactur- 
ing center for it has several streams and rivers with an 
unusual fall of water within the limits of the town. No- 
where are the variations in level precipitous, though they 
are in places abrupt. Several hills are over or nearly 
seven hundred feet in height and the lowest point in the 
town is three hundred feet above the sea level. Of the 
streams of water which furnish power all come from ponds 
which lie wholly, or partly, within the limits of the town, 
although the Blackstone River is fed from other ponds 
besides Ramshorn. The surrounding country sheds its 
rainfall into the ponds of Millbury and in addition there 
are probably springs in the bottom of Singletary and 
Dorothy Ponds as the streams which flow out from these 
seem larger than the streams which flow in. Thus the 
town receives the full benefit of its water power for the 
surrounding country slopes toward the Blackstone and, 
except for evaporation, well nigh all the water that falls 
within the town or comes up from the ground within its 
limits may be utilized within the limits of the town. 

The late Judge Hopkins, a resident of the town, in 
speaking before the joint committee on water and drain- 
age of the Massachusetts Legislature April 2, 1886, thus 
referred to the Blackstone river, its valley and our town. 

"And where and what is the Blackstone Valley? Taking its 
name from the first settler of Boston, and extending from Wor- 
cester to Providence Bay, it has a history as an industrial center 
antedating the history of Worcester as an industrial city. It is 
a busy valley, and, as such, has a record. . . . The river in its 
course to the sea operated the first cotton mill established in this 
country, and from that day to this, it has turned more spindles. 



12 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

for spinning wool and cotton, than any other stream of like size 
in the world. . . Its industries are diversified. Not alone do 
the cotton and woolen industries of the country owe a debt of 
gratitude to the Blackstone River, and the mechanics within its 
valley, but every other mechanical industry has had its home 
there, from the latter part of the last century. The general gov- 
ernment was supplied largely with arms and ammunitions of war 
from the town of Millbury for the war of the Revolution, the war 
of 1812, the Mexican war and the war of the Rebellion. The first 
scythes and improved agricultural implements made in the country 
were made at Millbury. The first paper machinery in the county 
was set up there, and for years it was the only source of supply 
for Worcester. Today, from the Riverlin Works, Millbury sends 
out the best edge-tools made in the country. The world-renowned 
invention for turning irregular surfaces was conceived and per- 
fected at Millbury, and today the memory of the inventor and his 
invention is perpetuated in one of the beautiful halls in its town- 
house, and which is named 'Blanchard Hall.' Then, too, at 
Millbury, was conceived the principle of interchangeability of 
parts of machines and implements which revolutionized their 
manufacture, and now prevails elsewhere in the country, and 
made possible successful competition, by American mechanics, 
in the manufacture of watches, machinery of all kinds, guns, and 
every other mechanical device. " 

An advantage in the geographical situation of Millbury 
is its location at or near- the main line of communication 
between the Western states and the Eastern sea-coast. 
The Boston and Albany Railroad runs through part of 
the town carrying people and freight both east and west. 
The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, 
operating the Providence and Worcester Railroad, trans- 
ports passengers and goods from Worcester and points 
lying north and west to the sea-coast at Providence. 
Fast express trains may be reached at almost all times of 
day and night that will take one to the great centers of 
population, so that there is ready communication with 
all parts of the world. 

This location on the great lines of communication is 
characteristic of the situation of Millbury for it was in 
this town and nearby that Indian trails led, over which 
the Red men coursed in their longer marches, and it was 
probably through the town that many of the earlier white 
settlers found their way as they made their pioneer jour-

neys to the lands about the Connecticut. Local evidence 
of this early use of our town as a passage-way is seen in 
the name of the Blackstone River at this point for in the 
early deeds of 1720 and later it was termed "the Half-way 
River," i. e., presumably half-way between the Connecti- 
cut and Massachusetts Bay. Below the town and es- 
pecially below Saundersville, the oldest name for the river 
is the Great river, many ancient deeds referring to land 
bordering on "ye Grate rever. " Above Millbury center, 
and especially above Park Hill, the name "Pacachoag" 
was applied to the river, evidently because the stream 
was then near Pacachoag hill and Pacachoag village, the 
earlier Indian settlement in Worcester. This term "Half- 
way" applied to the river so restrictedly within the pres- 
ent limits of the town of Millbury leads one to think that 
here was the crossing place of the Blackstone in the great 
trails that ran from the Bay, as the region about Boston 
was then called, to the Connecticut River. 

The earliest deeds (given in 1740), too, that determine 
the lands of Millbury's first industries on the Blackstone 
or, as it was then called at this point, the "Half-way 
River" refer to the "old path" apparently located where 
Elm street now runs west from the Common. This "old 
path," we believe, is a part of the old "Bay Path". 

As a third factor pointing to this place as the location 
through which the oldest path ran, we find that the earliest 
map made of the route traversed by Nathaniel Wood- 
ward and Solomon Saffery, April 14, 1642, shows that the 
Blackstone river, or as it was called in their map the 
"Nipnar" river, was crossed at a point at which it makes 
a turn to the South, as it does in Millbury. Another 
similar turn is made, it is true, at Saundersville, but the 
river is there called the Great River and no "old path" 
has been found mentioned in early deeds to indicate any 
unusual passage at that point. 

Much attention has been given to locating the old "Bay 
Path" which ran from Springfield to Boston, or the "Road 



14 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

to Connecticut" as it was called at the eastern end of the 
trail. 

Concerning this " Bay Path" or "Road to Connecticut" 
we know that it ran through the town of Grafton for Major 
Gookin in referring to the Indian settlement at Hassan- 
amisco, the Indian name for Grafton, stated that "Has- 
sanamesitt ... is about two miles to the eastward of 
Nipmuck (Blackstone) river; and near unto the old road- 
way to Connecticut. " Researches have been made which 
have traced the old roadway from the west as far as Ox- 
ford. Thus, as Millbury lies between these two towns, 
it seems probable that the first roadway traversed by the 
white man in his journeys to the west passed through 
Millbury. Just where this road ran cannot be deter- 
mined with precision but our fancy dictates that it crossed 
the Blackstone immediately above the Central Cemetery, 
ascended Woodchuck Hill, traversed the high level land 
through the old Common, thence by Ramshorn Pond 
to Oxford, the Indian Manchage. Over this route prob- 
ably Thomas Hooker went when he made his pioneer 
journey to the Connecticut where he founded the city of 
Hartford and became one of the men rightly included 
among the "makers of America." 

A later roadway ran three miles north of "Pacachoag," 
or South Worcester, as we learn from Major Gookin's 
historical collection. The Bradford History reflects the 
migrations that were taking place early in the seventeenth 
century, for in chronicling the events of 1635 it says, 
"Some of their neighbors on ye Bay, hereing of ye fame 
of ye Conightecut River had a hankering mind after it, 
(as was before noted) and now understanding,^ that ye 
Indians were swept away with ye late great mortalitie, 
the fear of whom was an obstacle unto them before, which 
being now taken away they began now to prosecute it 
with egerness, &c." 

In his History of Worcester County the Rev. Peter 
Whitney stated, concerning Millbury, that (Sutton) 



TOPOGRAPHY 15 

"This is a large and flourishing town, the second in wealth 
in the county. (Lancaster was first.) The census of 
1791 gave the population as 2642." 

In 1827, a geological and agricultural survey of Millbury 
was made and reported in the National Aegis of Worces- 
ter in which the following characteristics appear: 

"The surface of the town is hilly and somewhat undulating, 
but as a southeastern exposure presents a deep rich loam to the 
full influence of the sun it seldom fails to afford a rich reward to 
the well-directed efforts of the farmer ... It is a fine silicious 
loam, rather moist, from one to three feet deep. . . . The town 
generally is better fitted to grass, maze, barley, and oats, than to 
those vegetables which are required to withstand the severity 
of winter and particularly the heavings of frost under the sudden 
changes of spring; and more favorable, perhaps, to grazing than 
to tillage 

"The numerous ledges in the town dip to the northwest, and 
at various angles from 20 to 60 degrees. The prevailing rock both 
in ledges and boulders is gneiss, and of almost every variety from 
the oldest to the most recent formation. . . A few boulders and 
many fragments of soapstone have been found in different parts 
of the town. Its texture is compact and soft." 

Singletary Lake is often called the largest body of water 
in Millbury but, in reality, it lies chiefly in Sutton, al- 
though Millbury derives the benefit from its waters in 
water power, as the outlet runs through this town. 
Roads running beside the lake leading to West Millbury, 
to West Sutton, and to Sutton Center afford beautiful 
drives on its shores, and its waters afford boating pleasures 
to those who are fond of the sail-boat, the skiff, and the 
canoe. 

The early name for the pond was "Crooked Pond." 
The Sutton Proprietors' Book contains no other designa- 
tion and all the early grants and deed of land bordering 
on its shores contain the name "Crooked Pond." Ever 
since Millbury has been a separate town, however, it has 
been known by the name of Singletary Pond or Singletary 
Lake. 

The area of the lake is about three hundred and sixty 
acres. There are but two islands in the lake, Loon Island 



16 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

near the western end, and Fire Island on the eastern 
shore. On the western shore about midway on the pro- 
jection between the two indentations of the shore and 
about a hundred feet south of the present "Lacouture" 
camp, an old soapstone quarry is located about which 
Indian relics have been found. 

The stream which flows from Singletary Lake was 
called "Mill Brook" in the earliest records and it con- 
tinued to be so designated for over a hundred years, but 
in later times it has taken its name from the pond from 
which it flows so that it has gone by the name of Single- 
tary Stream. In the '20's both the stream and pond were 
designated "Burbank" by many. Careful computa- 
tions have been made "as to the natural flow of the water 
into and out of Singletary Pond for each of the months 
of the year and the power which that natural flow would 
furnish at the several privileges, " by Mr. Herbert Shedd, 
of Providence, R. I., a hydraulic expert. The average 
quantity of water flowing from the pond is 12.732 cubic 
feet per second. The water power furnished is one and 
seventy-eight one- thousandths (1.078) horse power to 
each foot of head and fall of water. 

Ramshorn Pond lies partly in Sutton as well as partly 
in Millbury and it also pours out its waters into this town. 
This pond is on the highest level of any of the ponds of 
Millbury, being six hundred and twenty feet above sea 
level. Its waters after a detour to the north come back 
into the town again in the Blackstone River. Originally, 
the pond probably resembled a ram's horn in outline but 
its level has been raised, so that today its shore line has 
been greatly altered and its area doubled, covering as it 
does about one hundred and fifty acres. 

In 1873, the dam at the outlet of the pond gave way, 
doing much damage and in rebuilding the new one ex- 
cavations were made unearthing skeletons, supposed to 
be those of Indians, but these were buried again. The 
new, or present, dam is higher than the former one. 



TOPOGRAPHY 17 

Ramshorn Stream flows to the north for about two miles 
and a half when it enters the town of Auburn. Like the 
other streams coursing through the town the drop of 
water is considerable, being about one hundred feet in 
the distance traversed. 

Dorothy Pond lies in the northern portion of the town 
between the old road to Worcester and the tracks of the 
Boston and Albany Railroad Branch. This pond, as 
seen from the road, is one of quiet beauty. It lies four 
hundred feet above the sea level and it is the only pond 
of considerable size that is wholly within the limits of 
the town. 

The earliest name by which this sheet of water was 
called was "South Pond." In the Proprietors' Book 
the name "Dorothy" early appears as its name, however. 
Just how this name was received has not been determined. 
As the spelling of names in the old documents was largely 
phonetic we find a variety of spellings for this pond such 
as Dorothy's, Dorathy's, Doriat's, Doritee's, Dorrity's, 
Dority's, Doriet's, Dorrety, Doraites. The spelling Dor- 
othy or Dorothy's is that most found when the hand- 
writing is the best. "Dorothy Pond" and "Dority 
Pond" are the designations that older families employ 
the most. 

The stream flowing out from Dorothy Pond, like other 
streams in Millbury, is not large, but in coursing a mile 
and a quarter it has a drop of sixty feet before it enters 
the Blackstone near the County Bridge. 

The sections of the town that are apart from the man- 
ufacturing sites and from the thickly settled sections con- 
tain many farms that have a larger proportion of arable 
land than would seem possible in a town that has so much 
fall of water on so many streams. The soil is generally 
rich and is unusually well-watered, much of the land 
being springy. 

The earliest map of the town that is in existence is 
found in the state archives and it gives merely the out- 



18 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

lines of the original town of Sutton. It was made in 1715 
and includes territory to the east of Grafton, although that 
town is excluded as it was held by the Indians and was 
called "Hassanamisco." Worcester lay to the north 
as at present. To the southeast lay Mendon. Marlboro 
is given as lying off the northeast corner and to the east 
it is marked "supposed Framingham." There is no 
mention of Oxford, of Ward (Auburn), or of Douglas, 
farms being designated on those boundaries to the west 
and south. At the time that this map was made this 
region was included within the bounds of Suffolk county, 
for it was not until 1730 that Worcester county was 
formed. The total territory embraced within this first 
grant of land to the township of Sutton was 41,560 acres, 
1076 acres more than the contents of eight square miles, 
allowance having been made for farms on the border. 

The next map of the town was made in 1795, when the 
state ordered all the towns to send in maps of their terri- 
tory to the state house in order that gores and overlapping 
strips might be rectified. The original of this map is to 
be found in the state archives. The ponds, streams, roads, 
meeting-houses and industries are located apparently 
with painstaking care. 

The next map to be ordered made out and returned to 
the state was surveyed in 1830, at a time when Millbury 
had become a town by itself. The original of this map 
is also in the state archives. The surveying was done by 
Hervey Pierce and the map was carefully drawn out on 
sheepskin. This map contains essentially the same 
features as the 1795 map although the industries have 
changed their work somewhat, new ones have been added, 
and more roads are shown. 

In 1851 (see Annals) H. F. Walling made a map of the 
town which gives the location of many houses and indus- 
tries in addition to those previously noted. The popula- 
tion of the town is given, in 1850, as 3071 and the area 
as 10,106 acres. 



TOPOGRAPHY 19 

In 1878, a map was made of the town and is still used 
as a work of present reference. 

In 1880, a bird's-eye view of the town was prepared 
which shows the general lay of the land and the houses 
and industries of a generation ago. 

The United States geological survey map, surveyed in 
1886, includes parts of Millbury on the "Webster" and 
on the "Blackstone" sheets. This gives a graphic pre- 
sentation of the topographical features of the town. 

In relation to the surrounding territory Millbury 
touches at its most northern point Lake Quinsigamond. 
Bounding on Worcester the northern boundary runs 
southwesterly to the Auburn line where it turns much 
more to the south until it reaches the limits of Oxford. 
Sutton bounds the town on the south, the line running 
northeast and southwest parallel to the boundary line 
between Millbury and Worcester on the north. On the 
east Grafton, the ancient Hassanamisco, is the adjoining 
town, the boundary line running a little to the west of 
north and a little to the east of south. 

The limits of the town are between 71 degrees 49 min- 
utes 55.12 seconds and 71 degrees 43 minutes 26.43 
seconds west longitude. In latitude the extremes are 
42 degrees 8 minutes 41.69 seconds and 42 degrees 14 
minutes 16.88 seconds. 

The claim of the town to its rights in the Old Common 
as public property is derived from the following deed 
(given in 1740), although a quit-claim deed for this same 
tract of land was given by a grandson of the grantor 
herein mentioned October 25, 1848. When given to the 
town, there is no evidence of the present road leading 
from the Center to West Millbury through the Old Com- 
mon. The common extended twenty rods along the 
present location of this road, thence thirteen rods along 
the western side of the present common, thence twenty 
rods nearly parallel with the first line, thence eleven and 
a half rods to the first bounds:

(Recorded with Worcester District deeds, Book 41, Page 437.) 

A description of the original highway districts of the 
town may be seen in the records of the Town Clerk. 
Roadways have been altered and changed many times 
during the time of the town's history. 

The "old meeting-house" road was a bridle path, or 
wood-road, extending from the "Haywood District" 
near Dorothy Pond to the Old Common on which the 
meeting-house stood. The road started about a quarter 
of a mile north of Dorothy Pond on Millbury Avenue. 
It rose abruptly from the main carriage road at the start 
and w T ent nearly parallel to the nearby brook which it 
crossed after continuing for about half a mile. The gen- 
eral direction of this section of the path was south-west, 
but there were frequent slight turns made on account of 
the configuration of the ground. For the greater portion 
of the way on this section of the road there is still a well- 
defined passage-way that has within a few years been 
passed over by a driver with a horse and buggy. Thus 
the path continued until it emerged from the woodland 
on Martin St., a little below St. Joseph's School. 

From this point the road probably went independently 
of present roads toward the river which it crossed at a 
point near the north end of the cemetery. No traces 
can be found of this portion of the road but the transverse 
timbers of a former bridge that once stood at this place 
have been seen by Mr. Andrew P. Garfield, and Mr. 
Henry W. Carter has been told in his youth of people 
crossing the stream at this point, part of the time, at 
least, by foot on an old tree that was placed across the 
stream. 

From this point, after a slight deviation to the left to 
avoid wet land, the path turned to the right and went up 



22 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

the side of Woodchuck hill on the land of the Waters 
estate. After reaching the top of the hill the path went 
generally to the southwest continuing over the land of 
Mr. Henry W. Carter with a few deviations because of 
the character of the ground, past the traces of the old 
Savery house that once faced the path, until it emerged 
on the road leading from the old common to Worcester, 
near the house once occupied by Simon Bixby and about 
a fifth of a mile from the Old Common. A jog in the wall 
shows the former opening, but it is now closed with stones. 



INDIAN HISTORY 23 



CHAPTER II 
INDIAN HISTORY 

Prior to the advent of the white man, this region was 
inhabited by a race of Indians known as the Nipmucks. 
Some students of Indian History think that in more 
remote times the territory was occupied by the Beothuks, 
or Red Indians, who were so-called on account of their 
supposed custom of painting themselves and their belong- 
ings with red ochre. It is believed that the force of 
Indians which supplanted the Beothuks in New England, 
was the Algonquin, a great branch of the Indian family 
that at one time was probably the most numerous of any 
in North America. 

The word "Nipmuck" is derived from Nipamaug and 
signifies "Fresh water fishing place" and it distinguished 
them from those living near the seacoast. The early 
historians, such as Hubbard and Church, have spelled 
the name in many ways, such as Nipmuck, Nipmet, 
Nipnet, Nupmet, Nipmug, Nopmat, and Nipnar. 

We hear much of the expression, "The Nipmuck 
Country," though the exact territory occupied by them 
is unknown. Hubbard states that "the more inland parts 
of the country were occupied by the Nipmets, " and he 
further refers to the Nipmets as "A general name for all 
inland Indians betwixt Massachusetts and the Connec- 
ticut river. " Church defines the Nipmuck region as the 
"Country about Worcester, Oxford, Grafton, Dudley, 
etc." The Narragansetts bordered it on the southeast, 
the Pequot land hemmed it on the south, west lay the 
Mohawk tribes, ever encroaching eastward, and to the 
north were the Pigwackets and Coos. 



24 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Seven sub-tribes made up the Nipmucks, namely, the 
Hassanamesits (the local tribe) at Grafton; the Naticks 
at the town of that name; the Pawtuckets at Lowell; 
the Pennacooks and the Wamesits on the Merrimac; the 
Pegans at Dudley, near the great lake; and the Quaboags 
at Brookfield. Some writers have added to this list the 
Nashuas, but their connection is doubtful. The Narra- 
gansetts and later the Massachusetts for a time exercised 
dominion over a portion of the Nipmucks. 

Pierce's History of Grafton, Mass., in speaking of the 
Nipmuck country, states that "No white man, probably, 
ever set foot on its soil till the autumn of 1635, when it 
was traversed by a company of English, consisting of 
sixty persons, who, thinking themselves straightened for 
land in Massachusetts Bay, had determined thus early 
to emigrate to the more fertile bank of the Connecticut. 
What portion of the Nipmuck country they crossed is not 
known, but as their destined point was at Wethersfield, 
it is not improbable that they crossed this town, and that 
here, nearly three hundred years ago, that small company 
of emigrants, under the broad canopy of Heaven, invoked 
the blessing of God on their arduous enterprise." On 
this historic march, in 1636, the Rev. Thomas Hooker, 
their leader, passed through or near what is now Millbury 
on his way to Connecticut. Thus, with great energy, 
he opened a way for the white man and was a pioneer in 
that migration which meant the entrance of the white 
man into the inland country. 

John Eliot, called the Apostle to the Indians, traversed 
the Nipmuck country and gathered many of the Indians 
into villages that they might thus learn the Christian 
religion in their own language and be taught the pursuits 
of civilization. One of the companies thus visited was 
at Hassanamisco (Grafton), about three miles from Mill- 
bury Center and about three-quarters of a mile from 
Grafton Center on the road which follows the Quinsiga- 
mond River from North Grafton to Fisherville. Here 




INDIAN RELICS 



INDIAN HISTORY 25 

can still be seen a group of rude head-stones marking the 
graves of these aborigines. To Hassanamisco came also 
the good Major Gookin who was devoted to the welfare 
of the Indians in secular affairs as John Eliot was in re- 
ligious matters. Fourteen settlements in all among 
the Nipmucks were affected by these preachers whose in- 
fluence restrained many from taking part later in King 
Philip's War. A few, however, including James Printer 
who assisted Eliot in producing his Indian Bible, were 
among the hostiles. 

The Nipmucks, together with other Indians, early 
came into the possession of firearms. In 1642, when news 
came to Boston from Connecticut that a general uprising 
in New England was feared, the authorities of Massa- 
chusetts, though not crediting the report, disarmed all 
the Indians over whom they had control. 

About 1675 the Indian population in New England 
has been estimated to have been about thirty thousand. 
Philip, son of Massasoit, the first leader of the Indians 
in their dealings with the whites, entered into the leader- 
ship enjoyed by his father and was, at first, well-disposed 
toward the white people. He later became convinced, 
however, that the white men were surely driving his own 
people out from the land and he finally plotted the utter 
annihilation of the English in New England. He was 
a sachem among the Wampanoags, or "East-landers," 
as they were called, who inhabited the territory which 
now includes Bristol, R. I. 

A hard feeling was engendered between the whites and 
the Indians which culminated, in 1675, in King Philip's 
War. In July of that year some Indians killed several set- 
tlers at Mendon. On August 3 of the same year a small 
company of soldiers that had been sent out from Boston 
under Captain Wheeler and Captain Hutchinson was 
ambuscaded near Brookfield. Eight were killed outright, 
both leaders were wounded, and the party took refuge 
in a house, but Maj. Simon Willard appeared upon the 



26 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

scene with reinforcements, just as the savages were to 
close in on them in a final assault, and repulsed the treach- 
erous Nipmucks who set fire to the remaining houses and 
withdrew. In November, Captain Henchman appeared 
at Hassanamisco with his troop, about six weeks before 
the swamp fight at Narragansett. 

By its remoteness "The Nipmuck Country," in early 
times, became the hatching-place of plots against the 
English. Hither King Philip resorted and, in its wild 
fastnesses of wood and water, he gathered his followers 
together for onslaughts on the palefaces. Hither came 
the Narragansetts and others, until at one time, at or near 
Worcester, he had a body of a thousand men ready and 
waiting to pillage and murder. Lieut. Ephraim Curtis, of 
Worcester, was several times sent among the Nipmucks 
to prevent them from assisting King Philip in his war on 
the white settlers. Thus there is little doubt but that the 
wily savage was well acquainted with our locality and 
often passed here on his marauding expeditions. 

The attitude of the early white settlers and the Indians 
toward each other is thus expressed by Barry who states 
that "There were few points of affinity between them, 
and they had few interests in common. By habits, 
custom, and inclination their paths lay far apart; and the 
red man was not so obtuse but that this was one of his 
earliest discoveries, once his intercourse with the English 
became fairly grounded." It should be stated, however, 
that many settlers took a most kindly interest in the wel- 
fare of the Indians. They depended much upon the In- 
dians in their trade with them and marked instances 
occur, such as Winslow's treatment of a sick Indian who 
said, "Come over and help us," which show a finer spirit 
that was existent. 

In May, 1676, Henchman, Brattle, Prentice, Sill, 
Cutler, and Holbrook with foot and horse visited Hassa- 
namisco (Grafton) and engaged in conflict with the Nip- 
mucks and others, after which the expedition returned to 



INDIAN HISTORY 27 

Medfield. In July of this year, Sagamore John of the 
Nipmucks surrendered with one hundred and eighty men. 
The death of Philip soon followed, and the famous war 
which had for a time threatened the existence of the 
colony was ended. 

In 1686, some of the Huguenots who had fled from 
France settled at Oxford. For a time the strife between 
the whites and the Indians seemed to be about ended, 
but this devoted band of exiles felt the heavy hand of 
Indian hostility and one of their number, named Johnson, 
was a martyr-pioneer in the settlement of that region. 
After ten years of struggle at Oxford, however, amidst 
hope and discouragement, this people retreated and only 
their graves were left in the haunts of a savage foe, to- 
gether with the little church which stood as a witness to 
the faith that they held and had tried to implant amidst 
a hostile people. 

Locations near the mouths of streams entering our ponds 
and at the outlets of the latter were chosen working- 
places for the Indians, where many of the tools which 
they used and the large rocks which served them for 
milling-places are found. Also along these streams 
entering ponds or lakes, and even far back on the hill- 
sides sloping to the water, fragments of their bowls and 
cooking utensils, as well as material for their stone-work 
may be seen, much of it bearing traces of their crude tools. 

On the southwestern shore of Singletary Lake an out- 
cropping of steatite, or soapstone, is found, which was 
utilized by the Indians for the manufacture of their 
domestic vessels and some fragments have been found 
there. In 1885, and again in October, 1886, this place 
was visited by members of "The Worcester Society of 
Antiquity." The excavation from which soapstone had 
been taken was examined and the shore of the lake 
searched for relics of the Red-men. On Soapstone Hill, 
in the rear of the home of William E. Home, at Braman- 
ville, an opening may be seen where the Indians took 



28 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

from a ledge quantities of steatite for their use. In May, 
1895, Prof. F. W. Putnam and Mr. C. C. Willoughby, 
of the Peabody Museum at Cambridge, inspected this 
locality. Several students accompanied them and a day 
was spent in searching for relics. Many broken soap- 
stone vessels and some stone picks used in the making of 
these were found. The ledge is said to be well-nigh 
exhausted. On the farm of Mr. Henry W. Carter soap- 
stone mortars have been found and at present there are 
many large pieces of the rock to be seen. 

Many kinds of material were utilized in the manufac- 
ture of arrow and spear-points. A hard yellow stone was 
commonly used in making their spear heads, though some 
flint obtained elsewhere was also taken for the purpose. 
The stone most used by the local Indians for arrow-heads 
was white quartz, which is in veins among the rocks and 
ledges near our lakes. Places from which it was apparent- 
ly chipped by the Indians can be seen to this day. Mor- 
tars in which to pound corn were as a rule worked out of 
granite. Picks were made from some hard stone. These 
were seldom completely formed, but a good point was 
required. Bowls and small vessels were almost always 
wrought from soap stone. Nearly all had knobs or 
handles on them. 

The vicinity of Ramshorn Pond has yielded more than 
one thousand specimens of Indian handicraft in the last 
fifty years. The specimens have ranged from the small 
arrow-head to the soapstone bowl. From the shores of 
Lake Singletary and Dorothy Pond some specimens have 
been secured, though not so many. 

In 1900 and the following years, Mr. Owen W. Mills 
and Mr. Charles Geer found implements on Soapstone 
Hill for fashioning Indian dishes, such as bowls and mor- 
tars, as well as some specimens of Indian handicraft. 
Several of these were sent to the American Museum of 
Natural History in New York City and were added to 
its collection. 



INDIAN HISTORY 29 

The following extracts are taken from the late C. C. 
Baldwin's manuscript History of Sutton. 

"It is said the Hassanamisco Indians were visited by the 
Narragansetts, and it was a common custom with them to go 
together to the neighborhood of Wachusett (mountain) in the 
fall, to hunt." "A battle was fought between the Indians and 
the English on the southern side of Ramshorn Pond. The In- 
dians posted themselves on Potter Hill (so-called from the owner) 
and the English on a small elevation of land, now an island in 
the pond at the south end, and the battle was fought in the morn- 
ing. They spent the night in the places before mentioned. Sev- 
eral Indians were killed and many bullets have been since found 
on the battle-grounds. Two human skeletons were found, some 
fifty years ago, a short distance south of the pond and one skull 
was found on the place where the battle was fought. This tra- 
dition comes from Anthony Dike's father who had it from one of 
the soldiers who was in the battle." 

King Charles of England, by the charter granted to the 
Massachusetts Bay Company, conveyed to it territory 
within certain bounds, but the rights of the Indians to the 
title of their lands was always recognized by the govern- 
ment of Massachusetts Bay Colony, so that all lands ac- 
quired by white men within its bounds were purchased 
on terms satisfactory to the Indian settlers. For the 
protection of the latter the laws from an early date for- 
bade the purchase of land by the white men from the 
natives unless the terms were adjudged by the General 
Court to be fair to the Indians, thus in every case the 
approval of the General Court must precede a change of 
title. 

The visible connecting link between the Indian of the 
seventeenth century and the Millbury land owner of the 
twentieth century is the deed given by John Wampus, 
alias White, the Indian proprietor of all this territory. 
The deed from Wampus was dated July 28, 1679, and was 
recorded in the Middlesex County, Massachusetts, regis- 
try of deeds Nov. 3, 1679, where a copy may be consulted 
—see Vol. 7, pages 157-160. 

The territory covered by this description was carefully 
surveyed by John Chandler before 1704 as governor Joseph 



30 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Dudley confirmed the title to the plot May 15, 1704. 
Thus this early date has been claimed by the citizens of 
Sutton as the natal day of the town including, as it did, 
the present territory of Millbury. June 18, 1715, John 
Chandler made affidavit that he had made "a true draft 
and it contained no more than 41560 acres of land as set 
forth in the Plot" and not until this date did the House 
of Representatives approve the transfer to the proprietors 
of Sutton and the Council confirmed this approval three 
days later.

FROM FIRST SETTLEMENT TO INCORPORATION 33 



CHAPTER III 

FROM THE FIRST SETTLEMENT TO THE 
INCORPORATION OF THE TOWN 

After the test of martial strength between the Indians 
and the English settlers a period of rest ensued in which 
the colonists renewed the depleted or abandoned settle- 
ments such as Brookfield, Lancaster, Mendon, Oxford, 
and Worcester. After the re-establishment of these 
places, Sutton was the next among the Worcester county 
towns to be settled and, May 15, 1704, Joseph Dudley, 
"Captain General and Governor In Chief In and over 
her Majesties Province of the Massachusetts Bay in New 
England in America," confirmed the purchase that had 
been made from the Indian, John Wampus, and the white 
men gained a title to the soil under the usage of the colony. 
The town was incorporated June 21, 1715. 

Previous to the spring of 1717 only three families made 
their homes in the town. The first white child to be born 
there was Abigail Marsh, who was born Sept. 29, 1718. 
The first town meeting was held Dec. 3, 1718, at the 
dwelling house of Mr. John Stockwell. The first church 
was organized in the fall of the year 1720, and the first 
minister, the Rev. John McKinstry, was ordained Nov. 
9, 1720, and dismissed Sept. 22, 1728. His successor, 
the Rev. David Hall, was ordained Oct. 15, 1729. 

In a few decades the population so grew in numbers 
that the old meeting-house could not conveniently seat 
all the people who wished to attend the services and steps 
were taken, Jan. 18, 1741, preparatory to the erection of 
a new meeting-house for the accommodation of those 
living in the Northern part of the town. This was the 
beginning of that tide of affairs which culminated nearly 



34 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

three-quarters of a century later in the establishment of 
the separate town of Millbury. The proposition created 
considerable discussion and, May 25, 1742, the town 
appointed a committee, consisting of Elisha Putnam, 
Captain Sibley, Mr. Isaac Barnard, Mr. Obediah Walker, 
and Mr. Henry King, to consider the matter which had 
been brought more definitely before the inhabitants by 
a petition from some of the men living in the northerly and 
northeasterly parts of the town asking that they be set 
off as a separate precinct. The report of this committee, 
presumably, was adverse to the proposed separation for 
the town voted not to allow them to be set off. 

In the same year another petition was presented by 
persons who lived in the northwest part of the town asking 
permission to unite with others in adjoining towns for 
the purpose of forming a new town. Their petition, too, 
was denied. The town, apparently to remove the argu- 
ment that the meeting-house was not large enough, voted 
to build a new one. A committee was, therefore, appoint- 
ed to build and upon their asking for instructions in 
regard to the size of the building, the town "Voted that 
the said Comity should Build the said meeting-house — 
55 foots long — 45 foots wide and the height be left to the 
Judgement of the said Committy. " 

The northern inhabitants of the town were persistent, 
however, and a vote was passed, apparently to see how 
much territory was affected, stating that "Capt. John 
Stockwell, Lieut, Goddard, Dea. Hall, Mr. Benjamin 
Woodbery, Capt. Carter, Cornelius Putnam, Mr. Solomon 
Holman be a committee to go and measure three miles 
and one-half from the north line of the Town, south, and 
make return to the Town." The committee measured 
the three miles and one-half, as they were instructed to 
do, but this took off so much of the town that the mem- 
bers of the committee were well satisfied that the town 
would not set off so large a portion so they went back 
to their three-mile mark and ran a line from Oxford to 



FROM FIRST SETTLEMENT TO INCORPORATION 35 

Grafton, parallel to the northerly line. This placed the 
farms of Francis Kidder, Josiah Allen, Richard Singletary 
Isaac Barnard, Garshom Waite, Samuel Goodell, and 
Amos Goodell (taking them in order from west to east) 
to the north of the proposed line, including these men in 
the new precinct. 

The position of the northerly inhabitants of the town 
is well set forth in the petition which they presented to 
the town, Sept. 8, 1742, in which they stated that 

"your petitioners, living, sum and the most of us, very Remote 
from ye place of worship and having, sundry times, petitioned 
said Town for Releef, and hether to all our petitions have been 
abortive and unsuccessful yet, notwithstanding our Difficulties 
being so grate, we cant content our selves to give over seeking, 
hopeing we shall succeed at last — and, having thought upon a 
new skeem — which we think will pritty well accomidate us all, 
we pray that you would not Deny us this Request, (viz.) To set 
us of (off) three miles and an half wide by a parallel line with the 
northerly line of said Town. Beginning at oxford and Runing to 
grafton In order to make a precinct, that so we may have the 
worship of God set up amongst us, which we think Cant but be a 
Reasonable Request and what we hope you will not Deny unto us, 
which as in Duty Bound we heartily pray for. (signed) Timothy 
Carter, Isaac Manning, Thomas Whittemore, Josiah Bond, Daniell

George March, Johnathan Fuller, Johnathan Waters, Theophilous 
Kinne, Daniel Buckman, Samuel Buck, Thomas Gould, Edward 
Lyon, Elisha Barton, Thomas Holman, Jeremiah Buckman, Junr., 
Solomon Holman, Robert Jeneson." 

The town, however, refused to set off the precinct in 
answer to their petition, whereupon the petitioners ap- 
plied to the General Court and asked that they be set 
off as a precinct by special enactment. The town sent 
a committee to oppose the granting of this request. 
Nevertheless, the General Court reported favorably for 
the petitioners and in February, 1743, sent a committee 



36 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

to visit the town and hear the parties interested. As a 
result, October 28, 1743, an order was passed establishing 
precinct No. 2, according to a line drawn three miles 
south of and parallel to the northerly line of the town. 
November 11, 1743, an additional provision was made, 
by vote of the General Court, which compelled the in- 
habitants in this newly established precinct to pay their 
proportion of all ministerial charges in the town up to 
March, 1744. 

The following is a copy of the petition for the issue of 
a warrant for the organization of the second precinct: 

Worcester, ss., 

To Richard Moore, Esq., one of his Majs. Justices &c. We the 
Subscribers, Inhabitants of ye Second Precinct in Sutton in said 
County hereby signify to you our Desire that a warrant may issue 
agreeable to Law for calling a Meeting in said Precinct as soon as 
may be &c. (which was to choose Parish officers.) 

Jeremiah Buckman Ebenezer Pierce 

Daniel Buckman Solomon Holman 

Thomas Gould Francis Kidder 
Abel Chase 

The warrant which was issued appointed the first 

meeting to be held at the house of Richard Singletary 

on the twenty-sixth day of December, 1743. It was 

directed to Jeremiah Buckman and it bears the following 

endorsement: 

"Sutton, Dec. 26, 1743. By vertue of this Warrant, to me 
Directed, I have notified ye Freeholders and other Inhabitants 
of this ye same at Mr. John Singletary's Mill Doore. By Mr. 
Jeremiah Buckman one of the Petitioners of S'd Warrant." 

Capt. Timothy Carter was chosen moderator and 
Robert Goddard was precinct clerk of the meeting. 

The First Congregational Church within the present 
town limits (the Second Congregational at the time in 
Sutton) was formed by covenant, Sept. 10, 1747. The 
Rev. James Wellman became the first settled minister 
Oct. 7, 1747, and he was dismissed July 22, 1760. The 
Rev. Ebenezer Chaplain was settled to succeed him, Nov. 
14, 1764. 



FROM FIRST SETTLEMENT TO INCORPORATION 37 

After the establishment of the second precinct, agitation 
subsided and public matters moved forward without 
apparent friction. 

At a meeting held March 3, 1755, the town voted to 
choose a committee of five to consider and "treat with 
ye several ministers in ye town consenting to sell ye min- 
isterial land in s'd town, ye town having one-half of ye use 
of ye money and ye ministers ye other half. Voted y't 
ye land be sold." May 18, 1756, Robert Goddard, Esq., 
John Hazeltine, Esq., Capt. Henry King, Mr. Samuel 
Chase, and Mr. John Hicks were chosen a committee 
"to make sale of ye ministerial land and to treat or 
agree with ye several ministers concerning ye same." 

On June 20, the same committee was instructed and 
authorized to receive bonds drawing interest and well 
secured for the land when sold. Either land or substan- 
tial bondsmen were accepted for security. The bonds 
were to run to A. B. & Co., trustees, and their successors 
in said trust. The interest was to be paid annually by 
the trustees to the selectmen, or such men as the town 
should select. The following is a copy of the agreement 
entered into between the town and the ministers. 

"We, ye Subscribers, Consent y't ye ministry Land within ye 
Township of Sutton be converted into a money Fund for ye use 
of ye ministry in s'd Town for Ever, and where, as now, we have, 
by way of Lease Ten pounds old Ten'r we consent that ye Remain- 
der of what ye Lawful Intrest of ye money ye Land shall sell for — 
Shall amount to, be divided Between ye Town and ministers now

termine; the other half to be ye Town's property during our min- 
istry, provided we have annually paid us out of ye Town Treasury 
ye s'd one half and ye Ten pounds old Ten'r.

The committee appointed to sell the ministerial land 
were instructed to give the purchasers deeds in the name 
of the town and the ministers united in the conveyance 
by signing the deed. 

On March 12, 1761, at ten minutes past two in the 
morning, a shock of earthquake was felt lasting nearly 
two minutes when constant jarring and trembling was 
felt. On August 6, a record stated that "a parching 
drought prevails the like of which New England never 
heard." 

A year later, August 8, 1762, the drought was still 
severely felt and the pastures withered. 

On March 7, 1763, the town clerk of Sutton (Benjamin 
Morse) was instructed to transcribe the births, marriages, 
and deaths into a bound book provided for that purpose, 
thus establishing a vital record for the town. 

As early as 1770 an effort was made to have a portion 
of the town meetings held in the Second Parish, for at 
a town meeting held May 1, during that year, a test vote 
was taken to see if consent would be given for holding 
any of the future Town Meetings in the Second Parish 
of Sutton, but the vote was in the negative. The reason 
for the effort, no doubt, was that it seemed unfair to 
require the inhabitants of the Second Parish to perform 
all the extra travel and that it would be a relief to them 
to have a portion of the meetings held in their part of the 
town. 

The inhabitants of Millbury early assisted in supporting 
the poor of the Town for, on May 20, 1771, it was voted 
to raise eighty pounds to be used in caring for them. 



FROM FIRST SETTLEMENT TO INCORPORATION 39 

On January 11, 1773, a special town meeting was called 
"to see if the Town will hear the Request of the Town of 
Boston." (Concerning the alleged infringement of charter 
privileges.) Capt. John Sibley, Lieut. Daniel Trask, 
Deacon Ebenezer Pierce, Messrs. Edward Putnam, Daniel 
Marsh, Nathan Putnam, and Willis Hall were chosen 
as a committee to consider the several articles of griev- 
ances, imposed on this Government by the British Par- 
liament, as represented in a printed pamphlet from the 
Town of Boston and to make report at the adjournment 
of the meeting. They reported as follows: 

"We do apprehend that our Charter Privileges are Infringed in 
many Instances and that there is just Cause of Complaint: There- 
fore we think it advisable that this Town recommend to Capt. 
Henry King the Representative of this Town in General Assem- 
bly, that he use his best Influence with his Brethren, the members 
of s'd Assembly, that a humble and pungant address be made to 
his Majesty and Court at home — that we may Obtain redress 
under such pressing and alarming Grievances. Further, that 
whereas it has been thought that the Judges of the Superior Court 
have not had salaries adequate to their Important service that he 
make due Enquiry into that matter, and if he should find it to be 
fact, that he use his utmost Endeavours that their Salaries may 
be enlarged and made Adequate to their Merit and Station." 

At a town meeting called, in 1774, to see if the voters 
would grant money to supply the town with arms and 
ammunition, it was voted to grant the sum of forty-two 
pounds, ten shillings. 

On Sept. 26, "Edward Putnam was chosen a Delegate 
to meet and act with the General Congress of the Province; 
when and where they shall meet. " It was recommended 
that the military companies in the town choose their own 
officers, as the commissioned officers had proposed to 
resign. 

On January 5, 1775, Capt. Henry King and Elder Amos 
Singletary were chosen to represent Sutton in the Pro- 
vincial Congress to be held at Cambridge, Feb. 1, 1775. 
This meeting was of unusual importance because the 
action taken plainly represents that the citizens were in 



40 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

favor of espousing the patriots' cause. The town voted 
to approve what the Continental Congress had done and 
to adopt the Association of the Continental Congress. 

This first Continental Congress was the mouthpiece of 
the colonies. It expressed in terms that could not be 
mistaken a common determination to resist the aggressions 
of the British Parliament. The "Association," so-called, 
took the character of legislation and proved to be effective. 
This forbade the importation of goods from England or 
from the English colonies. Resolutions were passed and 
penalties laid in many places to enforce this among the 
towns in the colonies. 

A Committee of Inspection was chosen to see that the 
Association of the Continental Congress be duly observed 
and the following were selected, namely: Arthur Dagget, 
Edward Putnam, Samuel Marble, Asa Waters, Abraham 
Waters, Capt. Samuel Sibley and Mr. Seth Chase. The 
following notable instruction was by a vote given the 
constable "that he shall pay no monies due to the Province 
to Harrison Gray, Esq.," who was then the collector of 
taxes for His Majesty. It was voted to indemnify the 
constables upon conformity to such orders. It was 
voted that the representatives be instructed not to do 
anything inconsistent with what the Continental Congress 
had done. 

Capt. Moody Morse, Messrs. Stephen Prince, Willis 
Hall, Abraham Waters, Captain Trask and William Waite 
were selected as a "Committee on Donations." 

It was voted to raise thirty-two pounds with which to 
purchase a stock of ammunition. 

On January 16, it was voted "that the assessors of the 
town make return of the assessment of the Province tax 
granted by the General Court last May to Henry Gard- 
ner, Esq., of Stow; and to defend the assessors in so doing. " 

It was voted "that the minute-men be provided with a 
bayonet and other accoutrements agreeable to the advice 
of the Provincial Congress, that all others from sixteen to 



FROM FIRST SETTLEMENT TO INCORPORATION 41 

sixty years of age be equipped according to the Province 
Law, or may get bayonets in room of swords or cutlashes 
if they please, and that every householder provide him- 
self according to law." 

It was voted that all alarm men, "who shall neglect or 
refuse to be equipped according to law, and to bring or 
send their arms and ammunition into the field upon a 
time appointed for receiving arms, shall be treated as 
those that transgress the Association of the Continental 
Congress and shall be treated by the Committee of In- 
spection as such." 

For nearly seventy years prior to the incorporation of 
Millbury, the sires of this North, or Second, Parish of 
Sutton performed no small part in forwarding in their 
own sphere of activity the great political movements 
which were stirring the hearts of the colonists everywhere 
and which resulted in securing the freedom of the Ameri- 
can colonies and the establishment of a national govern- 
ment. Besides places occupied in the camp and on the 
field the citizens rendered valuable service by serving 
on important committees at home and in supporting the 
struggles of the men in the army. 

News that the British troops had marched to Lexington 
and Concord, April 19, 1775, and that blood had been 
shed caused great excitement among the inhabitants who 
then realized that the hope of an adjustment of differen- 
ces between the colonies and the mother country without 
a resort to arms was gone. The men who had faced the 
dangers and privations of pioneer life, however, were not 
lacking in courage to assert their rights and to contend 
vigorously in maintaining them. 

On May 22, 1775, Capt. Henry King and Amos Single- 
tary were elected delegates to the "Provincial Congress 
to meet at Watertown on the thirty-first day of May, in- 
stant, and for six months after, to serve alternately but one 
at a time." On Sept. 18, Lieut. William King and Elder 
Amos Singletary were nominated justices of the peace. 



42 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

On February 3, 1776, twenty-four soldiers, in addition 
to those previously furnished, were raised and set off for 
camp. 

On March 4, Capt. Moody Morse, deacon Willis Hall, 
Nathan Putnam, Col. Timothy Sibley, deacon Ebenezer 
Pierce, David Holman, and Capt. James Greenwood were 
chosen on the committee of Correspondence, Inspection 
and Safety, for the year ensuing. 

On July 1, 1776, it was voted "that if the honorable 
Congress should, for the safety of the colonies, declare 
them independent of the Kingdom of Great Britain the 
inhabitants of this town will solemnly engage with their 
lives and fortunes to support them in the measure." 

On July 8, 1776, William King, Tarrant Putnam, Enoch 
Marble, Ebenezer Pierce and Daniel Greenwood were 
chosen as a committee to adjust to every person his equal 
part for service done in the defense of America since 
April 19, 1775. 

On March 3, 1777, Capt. Jonathan Carriel, Capt. 
Bartholomew Woodbury, Lieut. Enoch Marble, Lieut. 
March Chase, Mr. Jonas Bond, Lieut. David Holman, and 
Capt. Elisha Goddard were chosen as the committee of 
Correspondence, Inspection, and Safety for that year. 
It was voted that "the sum of twenty-five pounds be 
paid by the town to every soldier of this town, that has 
or shall enlist to go into the Continental army, then being 
raised, until the town's quota for said army be completed, 
provided he has not received equivalent in some other 
way." On May 19, 1777, Willis Hall and Amos Single- 
tary were chosen representatives to the General Court. 

On Jan. 5, 1778, the articles of confederation proposed 
by Congress were read, and a committee, consisting of 
Capt. King, deacon Pierce, Mr. Nathan Putnam, Col. 
Holman and Lieut. Asa Waters was chosen to peruse and 
consider the articles and to make report at an adjourned 
meeting. 



FROM FIRST SETTLEMENT TO INCORPORATION 43 

It was voted to raise three thousand pounds to diminish 
the town's proportion of the public debt. On January 9, 
the committee chosen to consider the Articles of Confed- 
eration reported that, "In their opinion they should be 
complied with by this Town." The town voted unani- 
mously to accept the report of the committee. 

Upon the petition of certain inhabitants of Sutton, Wor- 
cester, Leicester and Oxford that they be incorporated 
into a separate town, the General Assembly appointed a 
committee to view the territory and issued a citation to 
the several towns to confer with this Committee. 

On February 2, the town chose deacon Ebenezer Pierce, 
Capt. Elisha Goddard, Col. Jonathan Holman, as agents 
to meet this committee and to enter the town's objections 
maintaining that the proposed town should not be in- 
corporated a town. 

On February 18, the town chose deacon Ebenezer 
Pierce, Mr. Asa Waters, and Mr. Ebenezer Waters as a 
standing committee to take action in behalf of the town 
"to prevent a part of this town at the northwest corner 
being set off (against its will) according to a line ordered 
to be run by the Honorable Court's Committee on the 
fifth Day of February instant." 

On March 2, deacon David Harwood, Dr. Benjamin 
Morse, Mr. Abel Dudley, Mr. Moses Bancroft, and Mr. 
Josiah Goddard were chosen on the "Committee of 
Correspondence, Inspection and Safety" for the year. 
On April 13, Capt. John Sibley, deacon Ebenezer Pierce 
and Lieut. Asa Waters were chosen as a committee "to 
report the reason why the town does not accept the new 
form of government." On May 18, it was voted to grant 
three hundred fifty-eight pounds, eight shillings to pay 
for clothing which the selectmen promised for the Con- 
tinental soldiers. 

On March 1, 1779, Ebenezer Waters, John Elliot and 
Nehemiah Gale were chosen on the "Committee of 
Correspondence, Inspection, and Safety." On June 21, 



44 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Lieut. William King, Ensign Nathaniel Carriel, Lieut. 
Joseph Elliot, Jr., Samuel Waters, deacon Willis Hall, 
John Harback, Joseph Waters, Dr. James Freeland, James 
Bond, Nehemiah Gale, and deacon Asa Waters were 
chosen as a committee "to procure men to serve in the 
Continental Army." 

On July 5, the town chose Dr. Willis Hall and Ebenezer 
Waters as a committee "to represent the town in the 
State Convention to be held at Concord on July 14 and 
to make a report to the town of the proceedings." 

On August 2, their report was received and accepted. 
Deacon Asa Waters and Mr. Ebenezer Waters were chosen 
to attend a county convention to be held at Worcester 
the first Tuesday in August, for the purpose of regulating 
the prices of labor and various articles of necessity. 

On August 17, the following named persons were chosen 
as a committee to act in connection with the committee 
of Correspondence for the purpose of carrying into effect 
the resolutions of the state and county conventions, name- 
ly, — Lieut. Nathaniel Whitmore, Mr. Nathan Putnam, 
Col. Timothy Sibley, Follansbee Chase, Capt. Moody 
Morse, Lieut. Caleb Chase, Lieut. James Prentice, Capt. 
Samuel Trask, Mr. Jonas Bond, Mr. Jona. Kidder, Capt. 
James Greenwood, and Lieut. Simeon Haywood. 

On August 23, Ebenezer Waters was chosen to repre- 
sent the town at a convention held at Concord in October. 

On September 23, the town voted that those persons 
who appear to be inimical to the cause of America "shall 
not be employed in any public business in this town" 
and it was also voted that "if any person shall speak any- 
thing against the Regulating Acts he shall be called to 
account by the committee and dealt with according to 
his crime." 

On October 19, Stephen Prince, Dea. Aaron Elliot, 
Caleb Marsh, Thomas Todd, Jonathan Gould, Abijah 
Tainter, Capt. James Greenwood, John Waters, Abel 
Dudley, John Dudley and Benjamin Hicks were chosen 



FROM FIRST SETTLEMENT TO INCORPORATION 45 

to procure twenty-three men to fill the town's quota for 
three months' service. November 22, it was "voted to 
raise one thousand pounds for supporting those families 
whose husbands are in the Continental service for three 
years or during the war." 

It was voted to raise three thousand, five hundred fifty- 
eight pounds to pay those soldiers who were procured 
to serve three months in the Continental Army. 

It was voted to raise four hundred forty-two pounds to 
pay the soldiers whom the officers procured in the previous 
September to go to Rhode Island and serve two months. 
On March 6, 1780, Maj. Bartholomew Woodbury, Mr. 
John Dudley, and Mr. Jonathan Gould were chosen as 
the "committee of Correspondence, Inspection, and 
Safety. " 

On April 10, Lieut. William King, Ensign Nathaniel 
Carriel, Lieut. Joseph Elliot, Jr., Mr. Samuel Waters, 
deacon Willis Hall, Mr. John Harback, Mr. Joseph Wat- 
ers, Dr. James Freeland, Mr. Jonas Bond, Nehemiah 
Gale, and deacon Asa Waters were chosen as a committee 
to settle with the nine-months men, since their time had 
nearly expired. 

On May 1, Dea. Tarrant Putnam, Lieut. Wm. King, 
deacon Asa Waters, Capt. March Chase, Col. Jonathan 
Holman, Col. Timothy Sibley, Elder Jeremiah Barstow, 
Dr. James Freeland, and Elder Daniel Greenwood were 
selected as a committee "to consider the Constitution 
and make a report to the Town of what they do approve 
of and what they do not approve of." At an adjourned 
meeting Elder Jeremiah Barstow, deacon Willis Hall, 
deacon David Harwood, deacon Rice, and Mr. Abel 
Chase were chosen to consider the third article in the 
Bill of Rights and to make report to the town. On May 
22, it was "voted to grant the sum of nine thousand 
pounds to pay the Nine months men." On June 12, in 
answer to a requisition made on the town (Sutton) by 
the General Court for thirty-six soldiers to serve in the 



46 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Continental Army, Lieut. Nathaniel Whitmore, Lieut. 
Bartholomew Hutchinson, Lieut. Nathaniel Putnam, 
Ensign Samuel Rich, Lieut. John Woodbury, Mr. John 
Hall, Lieut. David Putnam, Lieut. Ezra Lovell, Mr. John 
Gould, Sergt. David Chase, and Mr. Moses Hovey were 
chosen as a committee to procure the men. On June 
26, it was "voted to grant the sum of twenty thousand 
pounds to pay the six months men." It was voted to 
grant the sum of twelve thousand pounds to procure 
forty-two men out of the militia to serve three months 
in the army." On October 9, it was "voted to raise the 
sum of fifty-three thousand, five hundred pounds to enable 
the committee to settle with the six months and the three 
months men now in the Continental service." 

On October 16, Capt. March Chase, Mr. Moses Hovey, 
and Mr. John Hall were chosen as a committee to pro- 
cure seventeen thousand five hundred twenty pounds 
of beef for the army, and twenty-five thousand pounds 
were voted to enable the committee to purchase the beef. 
(The great depreciation of colonial money accounts for 
the seemingly high price paid for the meat. The colonial 
money was as low as two hundred to one when in use and 
in places it was worthless.) 

On December 4, each taxpayer who wished to do so was 
allowed to pay his rate in grain. The allowance for corn 
was fixed at twelve pounds per bushel and for rice at 
eighteen pounds per bushel. The price of the commodity 
only goes to show the very low value of continental money. 

On December 18, the town voted that one-third of all 
the town meetings, both stated and occasional, be held 
in the meetinghouse of the Second Parish. 

A requisition was made upon Sutton for thirty-three 
thousand six hundred forty pounds of beef. Capt. March 
Chase, Mr. John Hall, and Mr. Moses Hovey were chosen 
as a committee to purchase the amount and fifty thou- 
sand, four hundred sixty pounds were appropriated to 
meet the expense. At nearly the same time a call came 



FROM FIRST SETTLEMENT TO INCORPORATION 47 

from the General Court asking the town to furnish thirty- 
one men to serve for three years in the Continental Army 
or during the war. Col. Timothy Sibley, Capt. Abijah 
Burbank, Capt. John Putnam, Capt. Andrew Elliot, 
Lieut. Solomon Leland, Mr. Abraham Batchellor, Jr., 
Dr. James Freeland, and Mr. Ebenezer Waters were 
chosen as a committee "to class out the town into classes 
in order to procure the thirty-one men for the Continental 
Army. " At an adjourned meeting, the town "voted that 
if any person in any of the classes refuses to pay his pro- 
portion as assessed in the class he belongs to he shall be 
assessed his proportion as he was in said class, and half as 
much more." 

Other demands were made upon Sutton to which the 
inhabitants responded with commendable alacrity. It 
had been a fearful struggle in which the resources of the 
country had become well-nigh exhausted. The dark 
cloud of war passed away, however, and on the thirteenth 
of November, 1781, a considerable number of people 
assembled at the "Sign of the Soldier" to celebrate the 
day in great rejoicing on account of the capture of Gen. 
Cornwallis and his army, who had surrendered to the 
American forces under Gen. Washington at Yorktown 
on October 19, thus virtually terminating the war for the 
independence of America. "The Massachusetts Spy", 
in its account of the proceedings on that day, gives the 
reader to understand that well-nigh every demonstration 
of joy within the power of the participants was shown. 
The following toasts were drunk: 

1. "Those Noble Patriots Convened in Congress"; 

2. "His Excellency, General Washington"; 

3. "The Most Christian Majesty, Louis XVI"; 

4. "The Count de Grasse and the Combined Fleets"; 

5. "General Greene with his Veterans and Heroes"; 

6. "Peace and Unanimity in the Allied Army"; 

7. "May All Malicious Pimps of British George and lovers of 
Tyranny Be Swept Off with the Besom of the Thirteen United 
States of America"; 



48 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

8. "May the Traitor Arnold and All his Accomplices be Sus- 
pended between Heaven and Earth, as Unworthy of Either"; 

9. "May America Maintain her Independence until Time shall 
be No More"; 

10. "May those heroes, who have Nobly Bled in Defence of 
their Country be Heard of in Nations Unknown and Ever be re- 
membered in Ages to Come"; 

11. " May Peace on Honorable Terms Diffuse Itself throughout 
the Continent of America, like the Lustre of the Rising Sun"; 

12. "May Friendship Universally Extend and Actuate Every 
Human Breast throughout the World"; 

13. "May Consummate Happiness be the Reward of Heroic 
Actions. " 

On March 4, 1782, ensign Nathaniel Carriel, Capt. 
Joseph Sibley, and Mr. Jonas Bond were chosen to serve 
on the Committee of " Correspondence, Inspection and 
Safety." On November 12, Follansbee Chase, Capt. 
March Chase, Mr. Josiah Gooddard, and John Pierce 
were added to the above committee. It was also voted 
at the meeting that this committee "be particularly 
watchful of those who are suspected of being concerned 
in fraud or intercourse with the enemy and to communi- 
cate any discoveries they may make to the Attorney 
General. " 

On January 20, 1783, the town voted to instruct its rep- 
resentative not to allow the Continental officers any sum 
of money as one-half pay, or any other thing in lieu there- 
of, and to use his influence to secure a repeal of the 
"Tender Act." 

In 1784, ensign Nathaniel Carriel, Moody Morse, Jr., 
and Jonas Bond were chosen as the "Committee of 
Correspondence, Inspection and Safety." Deacon Willis 
Hall, Ebenezer Waters and Daniel Greenwood were 
chosen delegates to attend the county convention held 
at Worcester on Tuesday, the third day of March. 

In 1785, Joseph Hall, Deacon Willis Hall, Ebenezer 
Waters, Deacon Asa Waters, and Amos Singletary, Esq., 
were chosen as a committee "to draft a petition to send 
to the General Court praying for a committee to visit the 



FROM FIRST SETTLEMENT TO INCORPORATION 49 

Town" upon condition that the taxes shall not be settled 
according to the last valuation. 

On January 9, 1786, the town voted to instruct its 
representative to use his influence to bring forward a 
Tender Act, "that Real and Personal Estate may answer 
Executions and that it stand two years." 

On September 25, deacon Harwood, Lieut. Whitmore, 
Ebenezer Rich, Squire Singletary, and Nathan Putnam 
were chosen to instruct the delegates to the county con- 
vention and also the representative to the General Court. 
A vote was also passed that the delegates ascertain, if 
possible, whether the grievances, arising from the dis- 
turbed condition following the Revolutionary War, stated 
in the convention really exist to any great degree and bear 
generally upon the people of the country and use their 
influence to prevent any rising of the people in riotous 
manner, but persevere in petitioning the General Court 
for a redress of grievances and not dissolve the convention 
until the same be obtained, "for it is our minds that it is 
every way agreeable to the constitution." They also 
recommended that the General Court move out of Boston 
to some commodious part of the country and that the 
seat of government in Boston be sold to the best advan- 
tage to pay public charges or to build a seat of government 
in the country. 

In the years 1786 and following, serious disturbances 
interfered with the operation of the legal machinery that 
had been set up in the new republic. States threatened 
to separate and opposition was repulsed by measures 
that were but little short of bloodshed. In Massachu- 
setts, concerted violence prevented the courts from sitting 
and an organized force of insurgents under Capt. Shays 
threatened to destroy the state government. There 
were many mutterings against the state officials over the 
failure to pay the claims of the men who had been engaged 
in the Revolutionary armies, the men of Sutton being 
conspicuous in their insistence upon securing their rights. 



50 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

The sentiment was expressed that the Court of Common 
Pleas under its mode of procedure was "a scourge to the 
people. " Sutton delegates were further instructed to use 
their influence that the servants of the government be 
put on such footing as will be for the interest of the people. 
If such efforts as those represented in the Shays' Rebellion 
and in the interference with the courts had been successful, 
the newly formed union would have amounted to little 
as a government. The Massachusetts authorities were 
barely able to restore order and the men in Congress really 
went beyond their constitutional power then vested in the 
States in their efforts to assist. 

On Dec. 4, Capt. Jonathan Woodbury, Capt. John 
Woodbury, Colonel Woodbury, Deacon Harwood, Elder 
Greenwood, Lieutenant Hazeltine, Lieutenant Whitmore, 
Col. Jonathan Holman, and Captain Smith were chosen 
as a committee to treat with the court of Common Pleas 
and also with the men engaged in Shays' Rebellion (who 
were also known as Insurgents). 

On January 15, 1787, at a town meeting the report and 
request, dated Dec. 7, 1786, of a committee in behalf of 
the "Regulators," who would adjust matters independ- 
ently of the government, was presented. Amos Single- 
tary, Esq., deacon Harwood, Capt. John Woodbury, 
Lieutenant Whitmore, Ensign Carriel, Squire King, and 
Elder Greenwood were chosen to give instructions to the 
representatives and delegates, but at an adjourned meet- 
ing, held January 17, it was voted that the delegates to 
the convention be instructed to dissolve. 

On January 24, 'squire Singletary, deacon Harwood, 
and Colonel Woodbury were chosen "to treat with the 
Hon. Gen. Lincoln to see if there could be any plan of 
accommodation laid to settle matters between Govern- 
ment and the 'Regulators' as they called themselves." 
It was also voted to instruct the representative to use 
his influence in "General Court that any man may be 



FROM FIRST SETTLEMENT TO INCORPORATION 51 

permitted to keep a half score of sheep that may not be 
liable to be taken from him by warrant or execution." 

On March 22, Ezra Wheelock, Nathaniel Carriel, 
Daniel Greenwood, Jedediah Barton, Follansbee Chase, 
Bartholomew Woodbury, John Pierce, Asa Goodale, 
Stephen Marsh and Noah Stockwell, who had been en- 
gaged in this rebellion, took the oath of allegiance in com- 
pliance with a court act dated February 16, 1787. 

On March 5, 1792, the town voted to dismiss the trus- 
tees that had the care of the ministerial and school 
money and to commit the same into the hands of the 
town treasurer. 

On January 14, 1793, Jonathan Kidder, Samuel Blanch- 
ard, and Arthur Dagget asked to be set off "from the 
town of Sutton to be annexed to the town of Oxford. " 
They also petitioned the General Court to be set off and 
the latter issued an order for the town to show cause why 
the petition should not be granted. Amos Singletary, 
Esq., was chosen to appear before the General Court and 
to show cause why the petitioners should not be set off 
and the subject was not continued further. 

On February 9, 1797, the people of the North, or Sec- 
ond, Parish made a demand upon the First Parish for 
eight hundred dollars, as their portion of the ministry 
money; and, on March 20, the clerk of the First Parish 
was instructed to send the following reply, "The Society, 
after taking into consideration the demand made on them 
by Mr. Aaron Pierce, Josiah Stiles, and Lieut. Asa Good- 
ale, agents for the North Parish in Sutton, for eight 
hundred dollars of the Ministry money, dated February 
9, 1797, voted that this Society will adopt such measures 
respecting the demand as it conceives will be consistent 
with the honor and interests of the Society. With regard 
to that part of the demand which proposes a friendly 
negotiation as the most probable means of settling such 
claims to the mutual satisfaction of both parties: it is the 
determination of this Society to cultivate friendship and 



52 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

good neighborhood with the North Parish and with the 
Town in general upon fair and honorable principles. 
But it is the opinion of this Society that it can not with 
propriety enter into a separate negotiation with the North 
Parish upon the subject until the lawsuit between the 
Town and this Society respecting the ministry money 
shall be finally determined." 

At a town meeting held November 5, 1798, "The ques- 
tion was put to see if the Town would grant the petition 
of the North Parish to be set off and incorporated into a 
separate Town with their equal proportion according to 
taxation, with all the privileges and immunities which 
in any wise belong to the Town of Sutton," but it was 
decided in the negative. A committee was, however, 
chosen consisting of Colonel Holman, Capt. Jonathan 
Woodbury, deacon Waters, Josiah Stiles, Ebenezer Waters, 
Asa Goodale, Colonel Woodbury, Maj. Samuel Waters 
and Colonel Sibley to treat with the North Parish with 
reference to the separation. On May 6, 1799, the com- 
mittee reported in favor of "setting off the North Parish 
as a separate Town, but the town voted not to accept 
the report of the committee." 

On Nov. 20, 1809, a committee was chosen to draw up 
a remonstrance to be presented to the General Court 
against the incorporation of the Second Parish of Sutton 
as a separate town. 

On May 7, 1810, the town of Sutton gave consent that 
one-third part of the town meetings be held in the Second 
Parish on condition that the parish withdraw the petition 
to the General Court, seeking incorporation as a separate 
town. 

On Jan. 21, 1811, the town voted to continue its re- 
monstrance at the General Court against the incorporation 
of the Second Parish into a town; and, with the object, 
perhaps, of making its case a little stronger, a vote was 
passed stating that the town would not consent to incor- 
poration. 



FROM FIRST SETTLEMENT TO INCORPORATION 53 

In 1812, the Second Parish demanded a portion of the 
ministerial money, one half of the whole then in the 
treasury, and it also voted that Lieut. Asa Goodale, Josiah 
Stiles, Esq., and Aaron Pierce, Esq., be a committee to 
serve the clerk of the First Congregational Society of 
Sutton with a copy of the vote and to ask and receive on 
behalf of the Second Parish its portion of the fund. 

The message was delivered March 10, 1812, and a reply 
received as follows: 

"To Lt. Asa Goodale, Josiah Stiles, and Aaron Pierce, Esq.., 

Gentlemen: 

Having been appointed by the First Congregational Society 
of Sutton at their Annual Meeting in March last to present to 
you an answer to your request: in conformity to the votes of the 
Second Parish in Sutton at their meeting held March 9, 1912, to 
the first Congregational Society in Sutton for the one-half of the 
Ministerial fund now in the hands of the Treasurer of said Society. 

"In answer to your demand we can only say that in consequence 
of so unexpected request, we have examined the charter of the 
Town, the Proprietor's Book, and the Town Records, and can find 
nothing to justify a compliance with your demand, and unless 
.you can, gentlemen, show us some ground either in justice, or 
law, we cannot comply with your request." 

(signed) Josiah Wheelock 
Daniel Tenney 
"Agents for the First Congregational Society in Sutton. 
Sutton, April 8, 1812." 

On January 11, 1813, the inhabitants of the North 
Parish continued to press their petition before the General 
Court for an act of incorporation, and the people of the 
south part of Sutton renewed their remonstrance against 
the act. Nevertheless, the petitioners were this time 
successful and permission was given the Second Parish, 
embracing the territory now known as Millbury, to be set 
off as a separate town. 



54 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 



CHAPTER IV 

SOLDIERS OF THE COLONIAL STRUGGLE; 

OF THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR; AND OF 

THE WAR OF 1812. 

The earliest military records of Millbury families are 
included manifestly in the chronicles concerning Sutton. 
The following names that are enumerated include many, 
if not all, of those who took part in the pre-Revolutionary 
struggles and who were living within the territory that 
was later set off as Millbury. 

Elijah Waters lost his life in 1758 in the struggle that 
was waged in America in behalf of the mother country 
in its conflict with France. Benjamin Gowing, for whom 
the Gowing Bridge over the Blackstone River, near the 
N. Y., N. H., and H. railroad station, was named, was 
one of three thousand men who, in 1755, sailed from Bos- 
ton under generals Moncton and Winslow for Chignecto, 
N. S., on the Bay of Fundy, where they were joined by 
British troops and took part in the campaign which won 
Nova Scotia from the French for the British. 

Col. Jonathan Holman, who later served with distinc- 
tion in the Revolutionary War, carried a musket in this 
early campaign and the old fire-arm is still in possession 
of the family. 

Among the heroes of the French and Indian Wars was 
Capt. Samuel Trask whose old home (now owned by Mr. 
Henry W. Davidson) is still standing at West Millbury. 
It is said that when the tidings of a threatened incursion 
of British troops reached Sutton he ordered his boys 
to saddle his horse and bring the animal to the front door 
where the captain soon appeared. Mounting his steed

he called his family about him and taking off his hat said, 
"Let us ask God's blessing. " When the prayer was over 
he bade each and all a warm "Good-bye" and spurred 
away toward Boston. 

The following is a list of Millbury's Colonial soldiers with the 
addition of a few names of those who lived in other parts of the 
mother town of Sutton but whose remains rest in this town.

In the series of events which preceded the outbreak of 
the Revolutionary War the men living in the North 
Parish of Sutton shared with their compatriots of other 
towns the independent spirit of the times and they sup- 
ported the Colonial government by force of arms because 
they were convinced that the American position was the 
true one. The strife on the part of the inhabitants seemed 
to be more against the attitude assumed by the British 



56 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Parliament and officials than against England itself. The 
government of England claimed the right to tax the col- 
onies, but the Colonists objected to the levying of any- 
internal tax by the mother country, although they acqui- 
esced in the external tax collected on imports. The 
English government sent over new governors and, finally, 
additional troops were despatched to overawe and, if 
necessary, to coerce the colonists into an acceptance of 
the demands of the parent nation. Charters were even 
modified in their scope by Parliamentary action. 

On their part the colonists set up a parallel activity. 
In 1772, in the Boston town-meeting, it was proposed that 
a "committee of correspondence be appointed ... to 
state the Rights of the Colonists and of this Province in 
particular as Men, as Christians, and as Subjects: — and 
also request of each town a free communication of their 
sentiments on this subject." (Hence we find in the 
mother town of Sutton a committee of Correspondence.) 
In 1774, the first Continental Congress met and voiced 
the common feeling of the colonies and crystalized the 
common sentiment which looked toward independence. 

As this parallel activity developed, the opposition of 
the colonists became more determined and well-organized. 
Corresponding to the crown government was the Conti- 
nental Congress, corresponding to the governors were the 
patriotic leaders and corresponding to the British soldiery 
were the minute-men who were organized in every com- 
munity and held themselves ready to start forth on an 
alarm. 

As early as September, 1774, citizens from the North 
Parish of Sutton responded to an alarm from Boston that 
was occasioned by the removal of three hundred barrels 
of gun-powder which had been kept in the arsenal at 
Charlestown. Messengers from that city brought tidings 
of this action and spread an alarm that the powder was 
to be used against the people of New England in forcing 
them to surrender to the drastic action of General Gage 



SOLDIERS OF THE COLONIAL STRUGGLES 57 

who was stationed at Boston. The affray of March 5, 
1770, which has been called the "Boston Massacre" 
was still fresh in men's minds, although it was an insig- 
nificant matter in itself being occasioned by abusive 
threats between a mob and a squad of soldiers, which 
finally provoked the soldiers to fire and kill five of the 
citizens. Men flocked to arms and thousands started 
for Boston. The alarm, however, proved to be a needless 
one; but as a result of the general response General Gage 
recognized the seriousness of his position so that he 
" speedily began to fortify the entrance to the town 
(Boston) to prevent a surprise from the enemy without." 
This early response to the alarm of 1774 shows how keenly 
alert the men of Sutton were to the exigencies of the hour. 

On the nineteenth of April, 1775, an alarm from Lex- 
ington came to the minute-men of Sutton who started 
out at once for the scene of conflict, but Roxbury Camp 
was as far as the Sutton companies went. The minute- 
men of Concord and of Lexington, however, confronted 
British troops who retreated to Boston. 

The following is a list of those who went out from the 
town of Sutton on the Lexington alarm. Altogether in 
the colony about ten thousand minute-men responded 
to this alarm.

Revolution, including the names of a few who lived in 



62 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

the South Parish of Sutton but whose remains have been 
interred in Millbury cemeteries. The records of those 
who went out on the Lexington alarm are accessible but 
an account of those who served later in the war is not 
easy to procure. In some cases, too, a name has been 
found and presumably the right record is given although 
in a few instances this has not been without some uncer- 
tainty as several names in the list of Massachusetts men 
would be the same. Terms of enlistment were short 
because both colonial and state governments were em- 
barrassed for funds and each Province or Colony was 
jealous about having its own militia come under any but 
its own officers. 

In reality the Revolutionary soldiery was the irregular 
armed force which sought to repel the British troops. 
The American soldier depended upon the rising but still 
uncertain government which had been created parallel 
to and as a successor of the previously established British 
rule. The struggle, in short, was a Civil War in which the 
colonists won the fruits of victory. 

A record of Massachusetts soldiers in the Revolution 
has been published but its volumes are so bulky that it is 
in few private libraries. It may be consulted, however, 
in the larger, well-appointed libraries throughout the 
state.

CHAPTER V 

CHARACTERISTICS AND SURVEY 

As we have seen in a preceding chapter, for many years 
prior to 1813, the inhabitants of the North, or Second, 
Parish of Sutton had seriously considered its establishment 
as a separate town. From the extremes in the northern 
section it was a considerable distance to the First Parish 
meeting-house for attending town meetings and, although 
the difficulty was compromised by having a third of the 
meetings in the North Parish, this arrangement only 
served as a concession to the fact that attendance at Sut- 
ton center was inconvenient for many. Mills had sprung 
up in the North Parish, so that the interests of many of 
its leading citizens and other inhabitants were away from 
the agricultural life, and the future of the parish seemed 
to lie in these industries. 

At the time of its incorporation Millbury had a popu- 
lation of five hundred, embraced in one hundred and sixty 
families. The farms had not been brought completely 
under cultivation and bridle paths in places were still 
used. Wages, both on the farms and in the mills, were 
small, but the industries of the section promised abundant 
support for the future. 

At this time (to quote from an annotation made in his 
copy of the Sutton History by the late Colonel Waters) 
"a town meeting was called to determine upon a name 
for the new town. A proposition was introduced to call 
it Moscow. There is a tradition that Gen. Caleb Burbank, 
then one of the wealthiest and most prominent citizens 
of the town, strongly protested and said the name had to 
him unpleasant associations. That when he was a boy 



74 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

his father bought a cow of 'Old Morse' over in Sutton 
and she was called the 'Morse cow' and she was an ugly 
kicking 'critter' and as for calling the town Morse-cow, 
he couldn't stand it and he wouldn't. And he did not. 
This tradition of this peculiar man is somewhat apochry- 
phal, but it is probably true that he prevented the name 
of 'Moscow' from being adopted and he deserves the 
thanks of all succeeding generations." (Moscow, the 
Russian city, had been occupied by Napoleon and his 
army and had been burned during the year preceding 
this town meeting.) 

The name "Millbury" was suggested as a designation 
for the town by General Burbank. The word expressed 
the characteristics of the new town and the people at once 
recognized its fitness. 

After previous unsuccessful attempts at incorporation, 
a bill, which had previously passed both houses of the 
Legislature, was signed June 11, 1813, by the governor, 
giving the North, or Second, Parish the right to become 
the separate town of Millbury. 

The following is a copy of the Act of Incorporation for 
the town of Millbury: 

"June 11, 1813, An Act to Incorporate the North Parish in the 
Town of Sutton into a separate town by the name of Millbury. 

"Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Represent- 
atives in General Court Assembled and by authority of the same. —

town, with all inhabitants dwelling thereon, be and they hereby 
are incorporated with all the powers, privileges and immunities 
and subject to all the duties and requirements of other incorporated 
towns agreeably to the constitution and laws of this Common- 
wealth. 

"Sec. 2. Be it further enacted: That the inhabitants of said

Sutton and the inhabitants, and the inhabitants of said Millbury 
or any religious society therein shall furthermore be entitled to 
receive and hold such proportion as they are now entitled to, if 
any, of the ministerial money raised by the sale of ministerial 
lands in said Sutton which money is now in the hands of the First 
Congregational Society in Sutton. 

"Sec. 4. Be it further enacted: That in case the dividing

76 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

There have been three distinct eras in the industrial 
development of Millbury. The first period was that of 
the small, independent mill having few, often not more 
than one, engaged in its operation. This stage was 
marked by small water power at each privilege for, with 
ruder water wheels and with no call for all the available 
power, the streams were not utilized to their full capacity. 

The second era included the time of Millbury's be- 
ginning as a separate town and it was characterized by 
increased development of water privileges on the Single- 
tary and on the Blackstone. Two families stand out at 
this period as thus centralizing the water power resources 
on these streams. On the Singletary the Burbank family 
gained possession of the privileges on the stream and de- 
veloped them further, constructing additional reservoirs 
for making steady the flow of water at the mills, the height 
of Singletary pond was raised and the unequal rainfall of 
the year equalized as much as possible. On the Black- 
stone River the brothers, Elijah Waters and Asa Waters, 
Jr., acquired what power had already been utilized on 
that stream, at the location where the armory was built, 
and after the death of the elder brother, Asa, Jr. developed 
other privileges on the river within the town, viz: the 
Stillwater (Felt Mill) and the Cordis, as well as one in 
Sutton at Wilkinsonville, bringing all to a high state 
of efficiency. 

In the third period the industries again divide into 
separate ownership and each is still further developed by 
the use of steam in addition to water power. For fifty 
years there has been until recently but little addition to 
the power thus developed at these various industries, 
presumably because of the limitations of the water power 
and the cost of hauling coal at a distance. Without usher- 
ing in a markedly new era, recent years have seen another 
step in advance which offers greater possibilities for growth 
in the introduction of electric power which is generated 
on the great Connecticut River and its branches. This 



CHARACTERISTICS AND SURVEY 77 

supplements the local water-power cheaply, regardless 
of the distance of the factory from railroad transportation. 

The men of early Millbury lived in a day when there 
was little to divert their attention to outside interests. 
Paper was expensive, so that newspapers were few and 
private correspondence was uncommon. Not all knew 
how to read, so that what papers and books there were 
meant comparatively little to many of the people. Jour- 
neys were taken either on foot, on horse-back, or in the 
comparatively slow-moving stage-coach. Those who read 
had few books and those who travelled went to compara- 
tively few places. The result was that most of the people 
stayed closely at home, occupied with their immediate 
labors. 

With this circumscribed life the men of early Millbury 
looked into their tasks rather than abroad from them, 
hence we find that the vital interests and the mental 
activity of those early workmen showed itself in a mastery 
of their tasks and in inventions of improved processes. 

The first paper mill in Central Massachusetts was 
built in Millbury by Abijah Burbank. 

The only powder mill in this section of the county in 
the early days of the Revolution was erected by the 
Province on the property of Mr. Burbank, and was 
operated by Asa Waters, Sr. 

William Crompton perfected his first fancy loom here, 
an invention that has revolutionized weaving throughout 
the industrial world and has lessened the price of clothing 
in all civilized countries. 

The process of welding gun-barrels under triphammers 
and a lathe for turning out gun-barrels of regular size 
were invented by Asa Waters, 2d, who made several 
other useful inventions. 

Thomas Blanchard lived within the limits of Millbury 
when he developed his inventive genius in boyhood. It 
was here that he invented his tack-making machine that 
gave him a start in prosperity and it was here that he in- 



78 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

vented his eccentric lathe that revolutionized gun-making 
and later affected every shop in which irregular forms 
were made or used. His inventions, together with those 
of others, led to the development of the system of the inter- 
changeability of parts in machines, guns, etc., which has 
meant so much in the manufacture of all machinery from 
the watch to the saw-mill. 

Hervey Waters in Millbury invented a pin-making 
machine and a machine for sticking the manufactured 
pins into paper in rows. He also invented the process 
for rolling scythe and bayonet blades so that much hand 
labor was saved and these implements could be made 
more cheaply. 

Thomas Kendall, Jr., a Millbury man, first made the 
thermometer a practical instrument, thus making his 
influence felt in every house, factory and store of the land. 

In the perfecting of the telegraph Samuel F. B. Morse 
was assisted by Dr. Leonard Gale, of Millbury, who, it 
is said, gave practical suggestions that made possible the 
complete telegraph equipment. 

The first brass foundry located in the Commonwealth 
outside of Boston was established by Asa Kenney, Jr., 
in Millbury. 

About 1820, Millbury developed the first organization 
similar to what later became the old lyceum that did so 
much for the intellectual life of communities throughout 
the United States. 

In this town was organized the first society established 
for the assistance of students for the ministry — the fore- 
runner of the Congregational Educational Society and 
other similar denominational organizations. 

In Millbury, Ichabod Washburn began the manufacture 
of wire and began that series of improvements in its 
manufacture that resulted in later years in the immense 
output of the American Steel and Wire Co., a successor 
to his labors. 



CHARACTERISTICS AND SURVEY 79 

In fact the town has been the location for the operation 
of industries large and small covering a wide range of 
productions extending from the small shuttle-eye to the 
large eccentric lathe, from the peaceful pen-knife to the 
warlike bayonet, and from the pin of the household to 
the powder of the battlefield. 

Situated six miles from Worcester on the lines both of 
the N. Y., N. H., & H. R. R. and the Boston & Albany 
R. R., with two trolley lines, which give trolley express 
service, Millbury, with its five thousand inhabitants, is 
an excellent manufacturing and residential town contain- 
ing as it does excellent mill and factory sites. It has the 
advantage of possessing three beautiful lakes and it has 
a high pressure water system which supplies the purest 
of water. Electric light and power are furnished by the 
Connecticut River Transmission Company and a local 
company. With its great diversity of industries the town 
has been remarkably free from labor difficulties. Its 
advantages include several miles of macadam roads, a 
low rate of fire insurance, an automatic fire alarm system, 
paid fire and police departments, and a street sprinkling 
service. Three free delivery mail routes are in operation 
and others are soon to be established. For schools, 
twenty-five thousand dollars are annually expended, a 
fifty thousand dollar high-school building has been erected 
and there is a private Industrial School for boys. Its 
institutions include eight churches, many secret fraternal 
orders, a free public library, a national bank and a savings 
bank that has never paid less than four per cent interest. 
Its late town clerk, Ira N. Goddard, was the oldest in 
point of service of any in the United States, having been 
elected for the sixty-second year. 

Mr. Charles Monroe, once of Millbury, but now de- 
ceased, has given some interesting information about 
gun and scythe work in the early days of the town. He 
stated: 



80 HISTORY OF MILLBURT 

" In this place I would say that there was no machine there then 
to turn gun barrels, except a common engine which any green 
workman can set to turn any length of iron on a taper. After 
the barrels were welded they were taken to a great grindstone 
which was nearly nine or ten feet in diameter, a crank was attached 
to one end of the barrel and the tender would place it before the 
grindstone in a fixture that kept it against the stone, and at the 
same time turn it around. This stone revolved with great speed. 
Speaking of scythes, I mention the names of two men who were 
in Elder Waters' employ as great workmen with the trip-hammer. 
I venture to say they were the best hammersmen then in existence. 
Their names were Lewis and John Lilley. They were the men 
who welded the gun-barrels with lightning speed. They made 
scythes and sleigh-shoes. The shoes they would hammer out 
true and straight as a carpenter would joint a board. One of the 
brothers moved to Lowell, and worked for the Tremont Corpora- 
tion a number of years." 

Mr. Bela Chase, when eighty-eight years old, after 
seventy-two years absence, was in Millbury a few years 
ago, and visited many fields of his old associations. He 
recalled the location of the old shop in the " hollow" 
on South Main street, once part of the old armory, and 
later of the Atlanta mills. There Thomas Blanchard 
conceived an idea of the eccentric lathe, which he after- 
wards perfected at his shop in West Millbury. He re- 
called the occasion and the importance then attached to 
the invention. It was while Mr. Chase was a resident 
of Millbury that the digging of the canal was begun and 
he was in town when it was opened for commerce. He 
also remembered the Millbury Canal store, when it was 
located at the corner of Main and Canal streets, on what 
is now the lawn of the Walling estate. 

As an example of the provision which was frequently 
made for one's old age we have the following bond which 
was given by Elijah Holman in return for property by 
which he bound himself to furnish his mother-in-law with 
needed supplies. Strange though this may seem to 
us such an instrument was not uncommon in 1813. 

"Know all men by these presents: — that I, Elijah Holman, of 
Millbury, in the county of Worcester, Yeoman, am holden unto 
my mother-in-law, Susannah Holman, of said Millbury, in the full

well and truly to be made, I bind myself, my heirs, executors and 
administrators firmly by these presents — Sealed with my Seal, 
dated this ninth day of March, A. D. 1814. 

"The condition of the above obligation is such, that whereas 
by the last will and testament of Col. Jonathan Holman late of 
Millbury, deceased, there is a bequest to his Widow, Susannah 
Holman, a chaise, and the use and improvement of half his estate 
in Sutton and Ward as by said will may appear, which aforesaid 
bequest the said Susannah hath relinquished upon the following 
conditions (viz): — That there be furnished and delivered to her 
each and every year during her natural life the following articles 
(viz) : — Two hundred and sixteen pounds of well fatted pork — two 
hundred and sixty-six pounds of beef, seventeen bushels of Indian 
corn, four and one quarter bushels of rye, two bushels of wheat, 
three bushels of oats, seventeen bushels of potatoes, one hundred 
and sixty-six pounds of cheese, sixty-six pounds of Butter, ten 
pounds of sheep's wool, ninety pounds of small fresh meats, Six 
pounds of green Calf-Skin, One sixth part of the Cyder made, and

In the Rev. Peter Whitney's History of Worcester 
County (1793) the following industries are mentioned as 
being in operation in Sutton. And as the North Parish 
was the industrial portion of the town most of these would 
be early Millbury industries. He enumerates: 



82 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

"one paper mill, one oil mill, ten grist mills, six saw mills, three 
fulling mills, seven trip-hammers, five scythe and ax makers, one 
hoe maker, several who work at nail making, and six works for 
making potash. " 

In 1827, a geological and agricultural survey of Mill- 
bury was made by a committee from the local branch of 
the Lyceum and in the " National Aegis", published in 
Worcester, for Oct. 24, 1827, the following account of 
industries in Millbury is given. In speaking of the Bur- 
bank River (the Singletary) it stated that: 

"Few streams in New England, of the same size and length, 
possess so much power, or move so much machinery ... In 
passing a mile and a quarter it falls 212 feet within which distance 
it unites with another branch of the Blackstone (the main stream) 
and, by the aid of this other tributary in the two lower establish- 
ments, it already moves by its force two grist mills, two saw mills, 
two scythe factories, a screw factory, a manufactory of pen-knives, 
of joiners' squares, a paper mill, one cotton and two woolen fac- 
tories, and an armory. At these establishments there is manu- 
factured annually, flour from fifteen to twenty hundred bushels of 
grain, paper to the amount of ten thousand dollars, fifteen or 
twenty hundred dozen scythes, one hundred and eighty-seven 
thousand yards of cotton cloth, 7800 lbs. cotton yarn not wove, 
67 thousand yards broadcloth at one mill, the other not known, 
and three thousand muskets. One or two priviledges are not yet 
taken up and several not fully occupied." 

Seven years before the North Parish was made a sep- 
arate town the assessors of Sutton put into the hands 
of one of their highway surveyors a paper on which names 
appear that are largely those of North Parish people. 
The amount of each person's tax was also given (on the 
back of the paper). The paper was as follows: 

"To Mr. Ezekiel Marsh, one of the Surveyors of highways for 
the town of Sutton, the present year, Greeting — The within is a 
list of assessments upon the polls and estates of the persons therein 
named each his proportion of fifteen hundred dollars, being the 
highway tax the present year, which you are to collect and expend 
in Labor and materials to repair the roads and bridges within your 
limits. Two-thirds thereof in June, and the remainder in August 
next. And you will allow seventy-five cents per day for a man, 
fifty cents for a yoke of oxen, and twenty-five cents for a cart.

A few days before the incorporation of Millbury, 
Thomas Blanchard published the following advertisement: 

"For clothiers — The subscriber having obtained a patent for a 
machine called the Horizontal or Circular Vibrating machine, for 
shearing woolen cloth, would inform clothiers in general, that he 
has for two years past, built and vended those machines in 
Vermont, New York and Connecticut. He is now building and 
keeps constantly on hand in Sutton, North Parish, where they 
may be obtained on trial, for two or three months, and, if ap- 
proved, can be bought for seventy-five dollars. The simplicity 
and utility of this machine may be discovered from the following 
recomendations from Simeon Waters, one recomendation from 
Abijah Walker, Hanover, N. H., and one from Samuel Northrup 
Clother, Castleton, Vt. A handsome reward will be paid to any 
person that will give any information of infringments."

and premiums as they shall see fit." 

Previous to 1825 it had been the custom for the highway 
surveyors to expend the annual appropriation for repairing 
highways during the months of June and August each 
year and with that service the surveyors felt that their 
duties were done. Thus for the other months the roads 
were more or less neglected and complaints were some- 
times made. An attempt was made to remedy this 
matter for the following year. (See 1823.) 

The commissioners for the construction of the Black- 
stone canal allowed one dam at the outlet of Dorothy

regarding the maintenance of bridges and causeways over 
the canal. They voted to direct their agent, with the 
advice and assistance of the selectmen, to claim and de- 
mand a jury, or agree upon a reference. 



106 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

In December, it was thought expedient to choose a 
committee to devise the best method for supporting the 
poor during the year 1828, which committee was to report 
at the next annual March meeting. Dr. Amasa Braman, 
Rufus Barton, Gen. Caleb Burbank, Solomon Dwinell, 
and Aaron Pierce, Esq., were chosen. 

The prosperity of the town may be inferred from the 
following newspaper article: 

"The Goodell Manufacturing Co. is a very large establishment. 
It is calculated to turn out three hundred yards of broadcloth per 
day. In the same neighborhood is the large gun factory of Asa 
Waters, Esq., with extensive scythe works, etc. Also there has 
been built in the town a new cotton factory." 

Samuel Waters and Orra Goodell established wool- 
carding machines near General Burbank' s paper mill. 

Amasa Braman was an inn-keeper at this time. 

Henry P. Howe kept a store. 

Asa Waters, together with some others, petitioned the 
House of Representatives for the incorporation of the 
First Presbyterian Church at Millbury (now known as 
the 2d Congregational Church). On August 23d of 
the same year the church was organized, with eighteen 
male and twenty-two female members. 

The National Aegis of Worcester for October 24, gave 
a survey of Millbury. (See Chapters I. p. 15, V. p. 82.) 

1828 

March 3. The committee, chosen in the previous 
December to devise a method for supporting the town's 
poor, recommended that the town appoint a board of 
overseers consisting of three persons to manage all affairs 
relating to the poor. The report was accepted and Aaron 
Trask, Solomon Dwinell, and Hervey Peirce were chosen 
overseers for the ensuing year. 

April 7. The town voted to allow ten and eight cents 
an hour for the use of oxen to work on the highways. On 



ANNALS 1813-1830 107 

the vote for a new county there were nineteen "yeas" 
and twenty "nays. " 

This was the year of the digging of the Blackstone 
Canal. On March 27th, the first shovelful of earth in 
Millbury was turned over, near Mr. Greenwood's; on 
October 4th, the canal was filled; and on October 6th, the 
first boat went to Worcester. The Worcester Spy of 
October 8th states: "We understand that the canal 
packet boat, 'Lady Carrington,' will take passengers for 
Millbury tomorrow morning and return in the evening." 
One of the canal boats was called the "Millbury." 

(See Chapter VII, "Blackstone Canal.") 

A new road was ordered: "beginning at the Four 
Corners near Singletary pond, it will extend east to the 
southern end of General Burbank's forge dam excepting 
six rods near the Red Mills. The distance is one hundred 
twenty-six rods." This is the present road running 
beside West End Pond and taking the place of the old 
road which ran on the northwest side of the pond. 

In September, Caleb Burbank petitioned for an altera- 
tion of the county road then recently located from the 
Four Corners (so called) near Captain Barton's in Mill- 
bury, through Armory Village to the New England 
Manufacturing Co. in Grafton. The county commission- 
ers ordered a meeting for a hearing to be held at Stile's 
hotel in Millbury on October 22d. 

At the fair of the New England Society held in Boston, 
this year, the committee on iron and steel awarded the 
premium, a medal, to Moses L. Morse, of Millbury, for 
a card of pink-irons. 

Among the manufacturers in the town were the follow- 
ing: Joshua B. Tyler, hat manufacturer; Samuel Brown, 
maker of cast steel mule and jenny spindles. 

A post-office, called "Grass Hill" post office, was 
established at West Millbury. 

A former resident of Millbury, Lieut. Carter Elliott, 
died at Worcester in December, aged forty-seven. At 



108 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

one time he operated the old Thomas Blanchard shop, 
grinding black lead. 

1829 
It was voted to send Aaron Peirce, Esq., and Col. Amos 
Hill as representatives to the General Court. It was 
likewise 

"Voted to choose a committee of seven to examine the records 
and to determine whether the Congregational meeting-house in 
Millbury is the property of the town or of the individuals who 
built it, and whether, when it is necessary to repair it, it properly 
belongs to the town to do it." 

The Committee chosen were Aaron Peirce, Elias 
Forbes, Samuel Waters, George W. Livermore, Caleb 
Burbank, Asa Andrews, and John Jacobs. They were to 
report at the next meeting. 

May 11. The Committee on meeting-house reported 
as follows: 

"That upon a careful examination of the records of the town and 
Parish, as well as proprietors who built said house, they are brought 
to the conclusion that it is doubtful whether the town, as a corpora- 
tion, has any legal right in said house. Your committee recom- 
mend that all repairs upon the meeting-house aforesaid be made by 
the Congregational Parish, and that the town allow them a reason- 
able compensation for the use of said house, as long as they shall 
occupy the same for the purpose of holding meetings therein." 
Signed by the committee. 

Excursions and special trips on the canal were adver- 
tised frequently. On July 4th, and at other important 
times, the canal boats " Independence" and "Lady 
Carrington" made excursion trips from Worcester to 
Millbury. 

Lewis Tracy advertised as a tailor in town, and Henry 
Parker as maker of cabinet furniture. 

1830 
A serio-humorous vote was taken at one of the town 
meetings, forbidding " surveyors of highways appropriat- 
ing money for ardent spirits, raised for support of high- 



ANNALS 1813-1830 109 

ways and bridges the present year. " Another vote taken 
was "to discontinue the road from Tyrus March's to 
Jonathan E. Putnam's. (The old road on the north- 
west side of the West End Thread Mill Pond.) 

The company of A. and A. Wood dissolved. Asa 
Wood retired, but Amasa and Ezekiel Wood continued 
the business. 

Another hatter was established in town, Samuel 
Leonard. 

Elisha Muzzy was a blacksmith at West Millbury. 

December 9. The Rev. Osgood Herrick was ordained 
as pastor of the First Church in Millbury to succeed the 
Rev. Joseph Goffe who had been pastor of the church for 
thirty-six years. 



110 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 



CHAPTER VII 
BLACKSTONE CANAL 

The first means of transportation with the outside 
world, aside from vehicles drawn by horses or oxen, which 
brought Millbury nearer to other towns were the canal- 
boats on the Blackstone Canal. Evidences of this long 
ditch may still be seen in the town, especially near the 
present road on the way to Worcester. The canal boats 
in use were nearly seventy feet long and about nine and 
one-half feet wide. They were sharp at the bow and 
were drawn by two horses hitched tandem. The boats 
were manned by a captain and two assistants, one of whom 
was the driver. 

The first serious attempt at canal building on the river 
was in 1796 when John Brown of Providence, R. I., and 
his associates planned such a water way and had the 
route surveyed. They found it practical and considered 
the construction easy. Many were interested by them 
in the scheme and a company was incorporated under 
the laws of Rhode Island. When, however, rights to 
build were sought from the legislature of Massachusetts 
the state refused to incorporate the company, so the plan 
could not be carried out. 

After that time mill privileges on the river were occupied 
by manufacturing establishments which added very great- 
ly to the value of the land adjoining the river and created 
embarrassments in canal operation if the owners should 
not favor such an enterprise. 

Demands for a water way, however, increased and, in 
the Spring of 1822, the matter was taken up by energetic

men in Worcester. The following letter, found in the 
files of the American Antiquarian Society, explains the 
feeling at the time and gives the names of those who 
launched the first efforts. There had been a meeting at 
Colonel Sike's Coffee House, in Worcester, at which the 
men whose names are attached to the following circular 
letter, which was addressed to representative men of the 
Blackstone valley, were empowered to ascertain the 
sentiment of manufacturers and to provide for an act 
of incorporation. 

Worcester, May 14, 1822. 
Sir:— 

'There is now a strong disposition to open a canal between this 
place and Providence arising from a conviction of its practicability, 
at a moderate expence. The people here, in Providence, and in 
other places near the Blackstone River, as far as we have learnt, 
feel a deep interest in carrying this plan into successful operation, 
as it is believed the extensive business done on the banks of that 
river, and in the adjacent country will fully justify such an enter- 
prize. We cannot doubt also that this extensive tract of territory 
will be greatly benefited by opening a water communication — as 
it will probably reduce the expense of transportation from here to 
Providence, Boston, New York, and many other places, from one- 
half to one-fourth of what it now is. It will probably open to us 
a market for many products which we cannot now send abroad, 
by reason of the expense of transportation, and will enable us to 
carry on, with success, many branches of industry, which cannot 
now be pursued. 

"We, the undersigned committee, in behalf of a larger number 
of persons assembled at Sike's Coffee-House, on Friday, the 10th 
of this month, to take into consideration the practicability and 
expediency of opening such a water communication, do therefore 
request you to give us such information as you possess, or can 
collect, in answer to the following questions. 

"What number of tons of all kinds of Goods, Merchandize, and 
Products, is carted from Boston and other seaports, annually, by 
the inhabitants of your town, and what proportion consists of 
Plaister, Lime, Salt, Iron, Steel, and other heavy articles? 

"What articles of Produce in Manufactures do you export, and 
what quantity of each kind? 

"Should such a communication reduce the expense of transpor- 
tation from Worcester to Boston or Providence two-thirds — what 
articles could you send into the market, which would now yield no 
profit, and to what amount? 



112 HISTORY OF MILLBTJRY 

"It is supposed that many Agricultural Products might find a 
market, which are not now transported at all ; and that many kinds 
of manufacturing might be pursued, which are now neglected, in 
consequence of the expense of transportation. 

"You will much oblige us, and those in whose behalf we act, if 
you would communicate with us as early as the 22d instant. It 
is necessary that we should have all the information which we can 
collect by that time, in order to embody it in a Petition to be pre- 
sented to the Legislature at its approaching session and which 
Petition we are directed to report to an adjourned Meeting to be 
held at Col. Sike's, on the 24th instant, at which you and all who 
are desirous of promoting the above object are requested to attend, 
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

The project received so much support that a charter 
was obtained and measures were taken towards its con- 
struction. Benj. Wright (chief engineer upon the middle 
section of the Erie canal) was employed "to make a top- 
ographical survey of the route and to examine the char- 
acter of the soil to ascertain whether the supplies of water 
were sufficient — to estimate the expense of construction, 
and to report thereon." This survey was completed in 
September, 1822, and was in part as follows: — 

"Mr. Hutchinson, accompanied by some gentlemen of the com- 
mittee, has completed a level over the route for the proposed 
Canal; and they find the distance, by measure, 45 miles as a Canal 
would run, and the descent 4513^ feet from Thomas street in 
Worcester, to tide-water in Providence. The ground is remark- 
ably favorable. The soil is generally easy to excavate; the em- 
bankments neither large nor extensive; very little solid rock to be 
removed; the aqueduct and culverts are not numerous nor expen- 
sive. On viewing the country intended to be benefitted by this 
Canal, taking into consideration its probable future growth and 
increase of trade, I have come to the conclusion that a Canal 32 
feet wide at top, 18 feet at bottom, and 33^ feet depth of water, 
would be the proper size to be formed; and that locks of 70 feet 
between the Gates, and 10 feet in width would be sufficiently large 
for the trade intended. &c." 



BLACKSTONE CANAL 113 

As there were at the time many mills on the Blackstone 
River it was not acceptable to property owners on the 
river that its waters be used for filling the canal and 
operating the locks. Accordingly, for an additional water 
supply, it was proposed to dam North Pond which lay 
two miles north from the Worcester Court House, so as 
to hold back the Spring rain for Summer use and thus 
increase its surface from 100 acres to 180 acres. By 
raising a dam 8 feet high this would give 48,787,200 
cubic feet of water more than that which the pond then 
fed into the Blackstone River. 

Between Thomas street in Worcester and the outlet 
of Dorothy Pond in Millbury, a distance of about seven 
miles, there were locks of six feet lift each requiring 4200 
cubic feet of water each time they were filled. North 
pond, allowing that rainfall would equal evaporation, 
would give 21,616 locks full of water, of six feet depth 
each. At the outlet of Dorothy Pond locks were located 
near the Goodell Manufacturing Co. (site of the Cordis 
Mills) with a lift of 8 feet, each requiring 5,600 cubic feet 
of water to fill them each time; and for this purpose 
Dorothy pond was made a reservoir. A dam was erected 
which raised the water ten feet, giving a surface of 140 
acres. This, added to the water from North Pond, would 
give a water lockage of 19,602 locks of eight feet lift. 
In eleven miles there was a descent of 176 feet with 
twenty-six locks. Below that to the Rhode Island line 
there were fifteen locks in a descent of 107 feet covering 
a distance of seventeen and one-half miles. 

The Legislature of Massachusetts granted a charter 
to the Blackstone Canal Company in March, 1823. 

April 25, 1825, The Blackstone Canal Company held 
its first meeting in Worcester, at which the corporation 
was duly organized. The expense in building the canal 
was $700,000 and the stock was in great demand. 
$500,000 was taken by citizens of Rhode Island, and 
$250,000 by people in Massachusetts. Of this amount 



114 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

$351,368.08 was paid in by July 2, 1828, later by the sale 
of bonds $79,486.40 was realized. 

At a meeting of the Blackstone Canal Company held 
at the Washington Insurance office in Providence, R. I., 
Nov. 14, 1829, it was "voted and resolved, that, four 
thousand eight hundred and eighty-one shares of new 
stock be created, at the nominal value of one hundred 
dollars each, to be offered to the present stockholders in 
the first instance ... at the rate of fifteen dollars a 
share. If two-thirds are subscribed, subscription is 
obligatory, if not, all to be sold at auction, etc." 

In 1824, excavation was commenced for the canal in 
Rhode Island. In August, 1825, commissioners were in 
Millbury appraising prospective damage to be done by 
raising the level of Ramshorn Pond and of Dorothy Pond. 
The first spadeful of earth for the canal was removed 
in Millbury, March 27, 1828, near the Greenwood crossing. 
$31,000.00 had been expended at the time. The company 
constructed the greater proportion of the locks with stone 
rather than with wood, as the expense was not much 
greater and the stone gave much better satisfaction. 

January 26, 1826, a report of the commissioners on 
damages shows that, at the outlet of Dorothy Pond, in 
Millbury, a dam had been located on land belonging to 
Jacob Dodge and Daniel Rice. The report also mentioned 
Samuel March, William Brown, and Sullivan Newton 
as owners of land taken for the dam at the outlet of 
Dorothy Pond; possibly some of this land was damaged 
in being overflowed by the raised waters of the pond. 
At the outlet of Ramshorn Pond, in Millbury, a dam had 
been located on land of Stephen Blanchard and Elisha 
Jacobs. 

The route designed for the canal was described as 
follows: Beginning at the northerly end at Caleb 
Burbank's Mill Pond (in Quinsigamond) near which there 
was to be constructed a lock; thence, crossing the road, 
and continuing over the land of John W. Lincoln, where

another lock was to be constructed; thence, on land of 
Nathan Perry; thence, on land of Elijah Burbank, with 
the privilege of constructing a lock; thence, on land of 
Isaac Willard, and on land of Leonard Kingsbury, also 
land of Isaac Willard; thence, on land of Moses Park, 
with the privilege of erecting a dam across the river, and 
constructing a feeder into the Canal, also constructing 
a lock on said Park's land; thence, on land of Aaron 
Parks, and on land of Mr. Marble; thence, crossing the 
road on land of Daniel Aldrich, and on land of James 
Greenwood; thence, on land of Abner Pitts, and on land of 
Asa Waters. On this last course the road was to be located 
further north, and the road location was to be occupied 
for the canal. Thence, on land of Simon Farnsworth; 
the road adjoining this land to be located further north, 
and the present location of the road to be used for the 
canal; thence, on land of Widow Waters, the road adjoin- 
ing this land to be turned farther north, and its present 
site to be used for the Canal; thence, on land of Nathaniel 
and Andrus March; thence, on land of Asa Waters; thence, 
on land of Goddard, Harrington, and Woodward; thence, 
on land of widow Waters, with the privilege of placing 
spoil-banks on her land; crossing the road thence, on 
land of Nathaniel and Andrus March; crossing the road, 
(Main St.) thence, with the necessary privileges in the 
vicinity of five locks, etc.; thence, on land of Goodell 
Manufacturing Co. ; thence, on land of Joshua Wait with 
the privilege of constructing locks, etc., on said land; 
thence on land of Joshua and John Wait, crossing the 
road (Grafton Rd.) with the privilege of constructing 
two locks, with other appendages, on said land; thence, 
on land of David P. Chase; thence, on land of Samuel 
Goodale; thence, on land of Widow Relief Brown; thence, 
on land of Asa and Lyman Goodale, with the privilege 
of constructing a lock, etc., on said Goodale's land; thence, 
on land of Joshua Chase, crossing the road; thence, on 
land of Paul C. Chase; and thence, down the valley. 



116 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

The first boat for the canal, the "Lady Carrington, " 
was completed June 28, 1828, and was fitted up for the 
accommodation of passengers. The first boat which 
passed the whole length of the canal arrived in Worcester, 
Oct. 6, 1828, although parts of the canal had been navi- 
gated previously. On this day the packet boat, "Lady 
Carrington," from Providence, reached the upper basin 
at the head of the Canal, and was moored there, at 11 
o'clock in the forenoon. Her arrival was announced by 
the firing of cannon and the ringing of bells. The first 
inrush of water made some repairs to the newly made 
bank necessary, but on November 8th, 1828, the boats 
began making regular trips, and a fleet of six arrived at 
Worcester from Providence on that day. 

In the official map of Massachusetts, issued in 1844, 
the location of the Canal from Millville to Farnumsville 
is given on the west side of the Blackstone River, and 
from Farnumsville to Worcester on the east side. 

Oct. 8, 1828, the Massachusetts Spy stated that the 
"Lady Carrington" would take passengers from Wor- 
cester to Millbury, on October 9th, and return in the 
evening. The boat "Independence" also made excursion 
trips between the two towns. 

In 1829, Jabez Hull was agent in Millbury securing 
patronage for the boat "Governor Lincoln." One of 
the boats was named "Millbury" in honor of the town. 

The amount of freight delivered to Millbury by the 
canal during five of the years of its operation was as 
follows : — 

In 1831, 876 tons; 

In 1832, 1140 tons; 
In 1833, 1316 tons; 
In 1834, 1533 tons; 
In 1835, 1375 tons; 
In the same time there were shipped from Millbury: 
In 1831, 360 tons; 
In 1832, 223 tons; 



BLACKSTONE CANAL 117 

In 1833, 171 tons; 
In 1834, 187 tons; 
In 1835, 183 tons; 
Nov. 27, 1829, the following statement was given out: 

"Notwithstanding the general stagnation of business and the 
embarrassment of many of the manufacturing establishments on 
the line of the Canal, besides the interruption of the navigation for 
various causes, of more than a month, the income arising from the 
tolls this year cannot be less, at the close of the season, than 
$8000.00, and there is very little doubt that more than double 
this amount will be received next year and afterwards that the 
income will go on increasing, as the capacity of the Canal to trans- 
port merchandise safely and at a cheap rate becomes more exten- 
sively known. 

"The Committee flatter themselves that after all existing debts 
are discharged, excepting the loan of one hundred thousand dollars, 
the income in 1830 wall enable the Treasurer to pay the interest 
on this loan and leave a handsome sum to be divided at the close 
of the year among the shareholders." 

The canal proved to be a benefit to the manufacturers 
on the stream as the reservoirs increased and equalized 
the volume of water in the Blackstone. Factories on the 
line of the canal nearly doubled, for an impetus was given 
to production and trade. It is stated that in Millbury 
alone over a thousand people came into the town to live, 
about 1830. 

Serious obstacles, however, unfortunately, interferred 
with the operation of the canal. A portion of it was 
located in the Blackstone River, so that boats were more 
or less detained in both high water and low water and as 
a result goods were held up for weeks at a time. In some 
years the canal would be closed four or five months on 
account of the ice. In a season of much drought the 
manufacturers were jealous toward the boatmen for 
drawing off so much water. In Rhode Island, mill owners 
in a few instances went so far as to put large loads of stone 
into the locks so as to prevent the operation of the canal, 
but this drew out counter threats of setting fire to the 
mills. 



118 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

When the canal was discontinued, the water rights were 
sold. April 23, 1850, the Dorothy Pond reservoir and 
rights were sold to Andrus March for $375. Oct. 17, 
1851, the rights at Ramshorn Pond were sold to Charles 
Washburn and others for $1500. The last toll collected 
on the canal was Nov. 9, 1848. 

The Charter for the Providence and Worcester Rail- 
road was obtained in Rhode Island in May, 1844, in 
Massachusetts, March 12, 1844. At that time Millbury 
had a population of 2,171 and Worcester, a population 
of 7,497. In the entire Blackstone valley, including 
Providence and Worcester, the population was 70,555 
according to the census of 1840. 

After the completion of the railroad between Worcester 
and Providence a toast, given at a meeting held in Wor- 
cester, suggested the relative importance and permanence 
of the canal and the railroad in the minds of the persons 
present for it was, "The two Unions between Worcester 
and Providence. The first was weak as water, the last 
is strong as iron. "

Thousands of brilliant bodies might be seen falling at 
every moment, all having the same general direc-

burned at a loss of over five thousand dollars. 

January 25. The heavens presented an unusual ap- 
pearance at night, distinguished from any which was 
before observed by the deep red-color of light, resembling 
the reflections upon the clouds from the blaze of a burning 
building, but of a deeper tinge. Many persons, indeed, 
supposed it to be the light of a distant conflagration, but 
it was the Aurora borealis. The most brilliant dis- 
play was at half-past seven, when a bright road of 
light extended from the heavens in the northwest to the 
south and thence to the eastern horizon. It was again 
quite brilliant at half-past ten. The magnetic needles 
fluctuated considerably. 

March 6. It was " voted that the treasurer of this town

the surplus revenue. " William Whittlesey was appointed 
agent of the town in the matter. 

The town "voted that $2,000.00 of the sum received 
from this Revenue be used towards paying the debt the 
town owes for the poor farm. " The town had previously 
bought, in 1835, the farm of Aaron Peirce, Esq., containing 
at that time one hundred and nine acres and thirty-three 
rods, with the buildings thereon, and used it as a poor 
farm. 

June 30. All the large manufacturing establishments 
in town except the Armory stopped in consequence of 
the general depression in business. Labor was very 
cheap and abundant, and there were constant applications 
for work. Breadstuffs continued high: flour was $12 
a barrel, and other things were in proportion. 

November 13. It was voted "that the trustees of the 
Surplus Revenue from the United States be required to 
appropriate the balance of this revenue in their hands not 
appropriated, to the payment of the town farm debt." 

The grading of the Millbury branch railroad and the 
depot, situated on Canal street, were completed in June. 
The original cost of the construction of this branch line

first freight cars arrived on the Millbury Branch Railroad, 
with coal for A. Waters and Son."

arrival. After viewing the road and the station the 
company gathered at Academy Hall in which dinner was 
served followed by speeches and toasts. When the party 
left town, cannon were again fired and bells were rung. 
On November 27th, passenger cars began running. They 
left Millbury at seven in the morning, arriving in Boston 
at ten.

pupils were present. Hymns were composed and sung. 

In July a very interesting debate was given by mem- 
bers of the Lyceum, the question being — "Ought Gen. Wil- 
liam Henry Harrison (The Whig candidate) to be the next 
president of the United States?" The meetings which 
were held in the Academy Hall continued for several 
evenings in succession, and the room was crowded every 
night for the question attracted much local talent and 
excited a great deal of interest in the community. The 
affirmative or Whig side was finally victorious. 

The principal speakers on the affirmative were C. R. 
Miles, Esq., Mr. Bruce and Mr. Hutchinson of Sutton;

138 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 



CHAPTER IX 
MILLBURY ACADEMY 

When Millbury Academy was established, there were 
but five other such schools in the county. These were at 
Uxbridge, Dudley, Leicester, Westminster, and Lancaster. 
To meet an apparent public need in the region the Acad- 
emy in Millbury was started in 1832. Funds were con- 
tributed for erecting suitable buildings, a charter was 
obtained, and a board of trustees was chosen, consisting 
of ex-Gov. John Davis, and Judge Pliny Merrick, both 
of Worcester, the Hon. James L. Sibley and the Rev. 
H. A. Tracy, both of Sutton, Dr. Bardwell of Oxford, the 
Rev. Elisha Rockwood of Westborough, Asa H. Waters, 
and Henry Mills, both of Millbury, Mr. Waters being 
secretary of the board. At this time Millbury had a 
population of only one thousand six hundred and eleven, 
and Governor Davis frequently remarked, that he did 
"not see how the people had been able to raise by sub- 
scription money enough to build that Academy." Cer- 
tainly there can be no doubt that it did require an effort. 
Governor Davis, popularly known as "honest John 
Davis, " was then a member of Congress, and for many 
years was the colleague of Daniel Webster. Although 
he was burdened with public duties of great moment, 
yet he took a particular interest in the school, driving 
down from Worcester to attend all meetings of the board. 
He drew up the By-Laws for the Corporation as well as 
the Rules and Regulations of the school. 

The Academy building was erected in 1832, at a cost of 
about forty-five hundred dollars. When completed it was 
publicly dedicated by a celebration which made a gala 



MILLBURY ACADEMY 139 

day in Millbury. A procession marched to the Second 
Congregational Church in which the exercises were held. 
An appropriate and scholarly address was delivered by 
Judge Merrick and this was followed by music and a 
collation. The first teachers, Mr. William Hall from 
Dartmouth College, preceptor, and Miss Charlotte 0. 
Spooner, from the famous seminary of Mrs. Willard at 
Troy, N. Y., preceptress, were on the ground and the 
school was opened at once. Scholars came from all the 
neighboring towns, so crowding the accommodations 
that an extra boarding house had to be provided for their 
accommodation. The school continued in a prosperous 
condition for several years, as long, in fact, as the original 
teachers remained. During the first year ninety-one 
pupils were enrolled. 

The land on which the Millbury Academy was erected 
was given by Asa Waters, June 9, 1832. A portion of his 
deed of gift was as follows: 

"Know all men by these presents that I Asa Waters of Millbury 
in the County of Worcester & Commonwealth of Massachusetts 
Esquire in consideration of my respect and attachment to the cause 
of good learning & the deep & lively interest I feel for the prosperity 
of this my native town & the improvement of the rising generation 
in the liberal arts & sciences & in the further consideration of one 
dollar to me in hand paid by the Proprietors of Millbury Academy 
a Corporation duly established by law in said Millbury the receipt 
whereof I do acknowledge do hereby give, grant, sell, & convey unto 
the said Corporation their successors & assigns a certain tract or 
parcel of land situated in the Easterly part of said Millbury near 
the Armory Village so-called, lying on the Northerly side of the 
road leading from said Millbury to Grafton a few rods Northwest 
of the house where I now reside. . . .containing by measurement 
one hundred and twenty rods and six-tenths. . . . 

"Provided, nevertheless, that if the aforesaid Proprietors or their 
successors shall fail & neglect to keep & maintain in successful 
operation an efficient & respectable Academy or high school on 
the aforesaid premises for the space of two years at any one period 
of time then this deed shall be void, but in case of said neglect the 
said Corporation shall always have the priviledge of purchasing 
said land at the price of five hundred dollars." 



140 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Some of the teachers who were later employed proved 
unpopular so that the number of pupils from outside fell 
off and the school lost its prestige, declining rapidly. 
At this juncture the corporation decided to sell the 
property and it passed into the hands of a manufacturer, 
who proposed to convert the building into a block of 
tenements. In this attempt, however, he was frustrated 
by a provision which the donor of the land had inserted 
in the deed. The purchaser neglected to secure a clear 
title by the payment of five hundred dollars as provided 
in the gift referred to, consequently, he found himself 
obliged either to support an Academy or a High School, 
or to lose his property. In the meantime a third party 
had secured the donors' rights to the land and he refused 
to sell at any price. Thus matters remained, until the 
manufacturer was willing to sell the Academy property 
to the town in 1851. Then it was made a free High 
School in common with the other public schools. 

In a Worcester County history the Academy is men- 
tioned as follows: 

"Millbury Academy, like several other similar schools, had to 
succumb to the High School system, when the town in which it 
was located came under the scope of the law in relation to high 
schools. The property was sold to the town in 1852. Like other 
institutions of the kind now dead and forgotten, it did good service 
in its day. It is a great mistake to suppose these schools were 
failures because they died a natural death. As well might we 
speak of the career of a good man or woman as failures because 
they have passed away. They must be estimated by the amount 
and quality of the work they performed while they did live. 
Judged by this standard, the old Academies will ever be esteemed 
by the student of history as among the potent forces by which 
society was informed and elevated in former generations." (Wor. 
Co. History, Vol. I, page 120.) 

The last principal of the Millbury Academy, Mr. A. P. 
Stone, who was principal in 1851, became one of the fore- 
most educators in the Commonwealth. 

Many graduates might be named who have in their 
later lives reflected credit upon the institution. One, how- 



MILLBURY ACADEMY 141 

ever, Horace Maynard, stands out with special promin- 
ence. He was born Aug. 30, 1814, at Westborough, Mass. 
When a poor boy, laboring on a farm in his native town, 
he heard of the new Academy and came to see what it 
could do for him. After two years passed under the 
direction of the principal, the Rev. Dr. Dana, he entered 
Amherst College, in 1834, and at his graduation was 
valedictorian. He was afterwards professor in the Uni- 
versity in Knoxville, Tenn. He became a distinguished 
lawyer. He was U. S. congressman from Tennessee, 
from 1857 to 1863. In 1864, he became attorney-general 
of Tennessee, again a member of Congress from 1866 to 
1875, U. S. minister to Turkey from 1875 to 1880, and 
postmaster-general under President Hayes, in 1880-81. 
He died in Knoxville, Tenn., May 3, 1882. 

Among those who taught at the institution in the early 
days of the Academy were Messrs. Hall, Richardson, 
Hathaway, Bushnell, and Wood, and Misses Spooner, 
Young, Lewis, and Davis.

CIVIL WAR 161 



CHAPTER XI 
CIVIL WAR 

In compiling an account of Millbury men in the Civil 
War the individuals have been grouped with the regiments 
in which they served, for it is only in a rough way that 
the career of the separate soldier may be ascertained, since 
the regimental returns were very inadequate. Indeed, 
not infrequently the papers and books of a regiment 
have been lost completely, either through the capture of 
headquarters or because of some necessity of strenuous 
campaigning. In other cases scant records were kept 
because of a fear lest information be given the enemy if 
the papers should be lost. 

In the sketches which follow, engagements and cam- 
paigns are cited in which the individual may have taken 
part, although of this fact we cannot be altogether sure, 
as he may have been on detached service, on sick leave, 
or even in a Confederate prison. 

The names that are included in this chapter comprise 
those men that were credited to Millbury in their enlist- 
ment, although several of these did not reside here at the 
time. It also includes men who have lived in the town 
since the Civil War, but who enlisted from other places. 
For this latter list we have been mainly dependent on the 
records of the George A. Custer Post, No. 70 G. A. R. 
The dates and notes recorded have been taken almost 
altogether from the publications of the adjutant-general's 
office of the state, although regimental histories, personal 
accounts, and the G. A. R. roster have also furnished 
material. 



162 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

During the Civil War Millbury furnished three hundred 
and forty-six men, of whom seven were officers — a surplus 
of twenty-six over all the demands that were made upon 
the town. Some of these, however, were re-enlistments 
or second enlistments. In 1861, 471 in the town were 
available for military service. 

The first meeting held to consider matters relating to 
the war met May 7, 1861, when a vote was passed appoint- 
ing a war committee and authorizing the expenditure of 
all that the committee might deem needful in furnishing 
those who enlisted from the town with all that they might 
need, and the selectmen were directed at their discretion 
to supply the families of volunteers. This committee 
consisted of J. E. Waters, Hosea Crane, Nymphas Long- 
ley, Sylvester Smith, C. D. Morse, Silas Dunton, and 
David F. Wood. (See Annals, 1862, 1863, 1864, 1865.) 
In March, 1862, twenty-three families were thus being 
assisted. From time to time the town also authorized 
the payment of bounties to the recruits who were credited 
to the town. The total amount that was paid out in aid 
of soldiers' families was $19,676.56 all of which was repaid 
by the State. The whole amount of money appropriated 
and expended for war purposes, exclusive of State Aid, 
was $35,930.74. 

Although there was no local Soldiers' Aid Society organ- 
ized in the town the ladies of the several churches sent 
clothing and other supplies to the front and to the hos- 
pitals. They also took work for the ''Soldiers' Rest" 
of Worcester and in other ways answered to the frequent 
calls for patriotic service that were made upon them. 
Teachers and pupils in the public schools devoted time 
to picking lint from linen cloth that was brought from 
the homes. 

Second Regiment 

The Second Regiment was mustered into the service 
of the United States May 25, 1861, and was mustered out 
July 14, 1865. It took part in the following engagements:

husetts regiments with Sherman's army in the march 
from the mountains to the sea.

Fifteenth Regiment 

The Fifteenth Regiment of Massachusetts volunteers 
was mustered into the service of the United States June 
12, 1861, under the command of Col. Charles Devens, Jr., 
and left for Washington Aug. 8, 1861. The regiment was 
recruited in Worcester County and its nucleus consisted 
of three companies, viz: A, B, and C, of the Ninth Regi- 
ment, to which were added recruits from many New 
England families that had been represented in the Revo- 
lution. 

The regiment was first engaged at Ball's Bluff, Va., 
where it suffered severely. It was next engaged in the 
battles of the Peninsula campaign and afterwards at 
Antietam where 52 per cent were lost in killed and 
wounded and 24 were missing, for of 606 officers and men 
who entered the battle only 262 remained available for 
service. This was one of the heaviest regimental single 
battle losses of the war. So severe, indeed, were the 
casualties which the regiment suffered in its early fighting 
that it was reported to have been "shot to pieces." 

The regiment was engaged in the battle of Fredericks- 
burg, but it did not suffer severely. 

Not only in battle but also on the march the men won 
distinction for with the 19th regiment the 15th was com- 
plimented in General Orders, June 26, 1863, for marching 
in the best and most compact order and with the least 
straggling from the ranks. 

The regiment took part in the Battle of Gettysburg, 
July 2 and 3, 1863, going into action with 18 officers and 
221 men of whom 22 were killed and 93 wounded. 

In August, 1863, 169 recruits were received. In the 
fall of that year the regiment was engaged in many skir- 
mishes and in the battles of Bristow Station and Robert's 
Tavern. 

Early in 1864 about fifty re-enlisted for three years and 
about as many recruits were received. May- 1, 1864, at 
the opening of the Spring campaign, there were about 



CIVIL WAR 



165 



three hundred officers and men present for duty, but in 
the battle of the Wilderness one half of this number were 
lost in killed and wounded. In all the marches from the 
Rapidan to Petersburg in which the Second Army Corps 
was engaged this regiment bore its part. On June 22d, 
only five officers and seventy men could be put into battle 
near the Jerusalem Plank Road before Petersburg and 
in the engagement nearly all of this remnant were cap- 
tured as prisoners, only one officer and five men escaping. 
These were placed in another command until the return 
of convalescents from the hospitals permitted an inde- 
pendent organization again. 

On July 12, 1864, three years having expired since its 
enlistment, the regiment proceeded to Worcester, Mass., 
where it was mustered out of the service. It then mar- 
shaled only 85, some being in prison, some in hospitals, 
and some transferred to other regiments. Those whose 
terms of enlistment had not expired were transferred to 
the Twentieth Regiment.

Twenty-first Regiment 

The Twenty-first Regiment was recruited at Worces- 
ter. It left Massachusetts, Aug. 23, 1861, and proceeded 
to Annapolis, Md., where it remained until Jan. 6, 1862, 
when it proceeded to North Carolina and later became 
engaged in the battles of Roanoke Island, Newbern, and 
Camden. In July the regiment went to Newport News, 
Va., and later took part in the battles of Second Bull Run, 
Chantilly, South Mountain, Antietam, and Fredericks- 
burg. After doing picket duty along the Rappahannock 
in the winter of 1862-'63 it proceeded to Newport News 
again and remained there about two months. 

March 26, 1863, the regiment started for Kentucky 
where it gained a moral victory amid a prejudiced and 
hostile people by winning respect and affection for the 
"Yankee" troops. After spending five months in this 
state, on September 12th the regiment marched into 
Tennessee where battles were fought at Blue Springs and 
at Campbell's Station. During the march the men were 
constantly harassed by the enemy and the rations were 
short. The siege of Knoxville followed until December 
5th. On December 29th, after its hard service, all but 
twenty-four in the regiment re-enlisted for three years. 
During this year, 1863, the regiment marched 775 miles 
besides traversing a great distance over which it was 
transported. 

Upon returning to the east the men were given a fur- 
lough to their homes in Massachusetts, but in the spring 
the regiment left Worcester for the approaching campaign, 
going to Annapolis where the Ninth Corps was being re- 



CIVIL WAR 



169 



organized. After being reviewed by President Lincoln 
in Washington the corps co-operated with the Army of 
the Potomac in all the campaigns which led to the sur- 
render of Lee. During this time the regiment partici- 
pated actively in the battles of the Wilderness, Spott- 
sylvania, North Anna, Shady Grove Road, and Cold 
Harbor. From June 16 the men were in the trenches 
before Petersburg and took part in the disastrous charge 
at the explosion of the mine reaching the most advanced 
position attained by the Union troops. Because of the 
great loss suffered, the confusion and the futility of the 
attempt, this was the most sorrowful and discouraging 
battle in which the Twenty-first was ever engaged. 

Following the battles before Petersburg the regiment 
was engaged at the Weldon R. R., Poplar Spring Church, 
and at Hatcher's Run. At the expiration of three years 
from the date of enlistment those whose terms of enlist- 
ment had not expired, together with large numbers who 
had re-enlisted, were transferred to the Thirty-sixth 
regiment. The others were mustered out at Worcester, 
Aug. 30, 1864.

Twenty-fifth Regiment 

The Twenty-fifth Regiment, recruited from Worcester 
County, was mustered into the service of the United 
States at Worcester, Oct. 31, 1861, and left on the same 
day for Annapolis, Md. 

The organization took part in the following engage- 
ments: — Roanoke, Newbern, Kinston, Whitehall, Golds- 
boro', Port Walthall, Arrowfield Church, Drury's Bluff, 
Cold Harbor, battles before Richmond, and Wise Forks. 
Losses, especially in wounded, were numerous because 
of many additional skirmishes in which the regiment was 
engaged. 

In January, 1864, 432 in the regiment re-enlisted and 
after a furlough returned as a veteran regiment. Those 
not re-enlisting served meanwhile with the 139th New 
York Vols. 

The regiment was mustered out of the service at Read- 
ville, July 28, 1865. It upheld the honor of the state in 
the service and never yielded its colors to the enemy.

Thirty-fourth Regiment 

The Thirty-fourth Regiment was mustered into the 
service of the United States, Aug. 13, 1862, and left the 
state two days later for Washington, in or near which it 
was stationed for nearly a year, thus gaining an unusual 
proficiency in drill. In the latter part of 1863 the regi- 
ment performed picket and patrol duty, but was engaged 
in action only at Charlestown, Va. 

In 1864, the regiment was actively employed in the 
Shenandoah Valley, participating in the battles of New 
Market, Piedmont, Lynchburg, Snicker's Gap, Martins- 
burg, Halltown, Berryville, Winchester, Fisher's Hall, 
and Cedar Creek. From May 1st to October 31st the 
regimental losses were 72 killed, 505 wounded, and 94 
missing. 

In 1865, the regiment was attached to the Army of the 
James and participated in the battle of Hatcher's Run 
and in engagements before Petersburg. The original 
members of the regiment were mustered out at Richmond, 
Va., June 16. Those whose terms of enlistment did not 
expire remained in that city and the main body proceeded 
to Readville, Mass., where the men were paid and dis- 
charged, July 6, 1865, twenty-five days before their 
period of enlistment had expired.

Thirty-sixth Regiment. 
The Thirty-sixth regiment was mustered into the 
service of the United States, Aug. 30, 1862, and left the 
state Sept. 2, 1862, having enlisted under the second call 



CIVIL WAR 175 

for three hundred thousand men for three years. This 
was after the first glamour of excitement over the newness 
of the war had died away and men enlisted knowing what 
fighting at the front meant in exposure to sickness, 
wounds, and possible death. It was a compact, homo- 
geneous body of men, remarkably free from envy, strife, 
and jealousy, and from its ranks not an officer or enlisted 
man was dishonorably discharged. 

The regiment was assigned to the ninth army corps, 
commanded by General Burnside, and joined the army 
at Antietam, just after the battle. It hastened to Fred- 
ericksburg at the time of Stuart's raid into Pennsylvania; 
campaigned in Virginia; and took part in the battle of 
Fredericksburg. In March, 1863, the regiment was 
transferred to the Army of the Ohio. It opposed the 
guerillas; proceeded to Vicksburg; operated against 
Jackson in the rear of Vicksburg; was ordered North, 
having suffered the ill effects of a hard campaign; operated 
in East Tennessee; participated in the battle of Blue 
Springs; was engaged in the movement against Long- 
street; participated in the battle of Campbell's Station; 
was besieged at Knoxville; campaigned in East Tennessee; 
was ordered east and went into camp at Annapolis, Md., 
having completed a year of hard service. 

At Annapolis, in 1864, the regiment was re-organized 
and recruited, ninety-one men were transferred to it from 
the twenty-ninth regiment, and fifty-six men were assigned 
for duty from the forty-sixth New York. Although the 
men in the ranks expected to be sent south the regiment 
was marched with the rest of the Ninth Corps to co- 
operate with the Army of the Potomac. It was engaged 
in the battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, and 
Cold Harbor. It took part in the siege of Petersburg, 
in the assaults on the rebel works there, and in the battle 
of Pegram Farm. 

In November, 1864, the regiment was consolidated into 
seven companies and the remnant of the twenty-first 



176 



HISTORY OF MILLBURY 



regiment was incorporated as a battalion. After further 
service in the trenches the regiment was stationed at 
Fort Rice before Petersburg and it took part in the final 
assault. After participating in the Great Review of the 
armies in Washington the regiment was mustered out at 
Alexandria, June 8, and proceeded to Readville, Mass., 
for final discharge and pay. 

The records of the regiment were lost in the campaign 
in East Tennessee. During the last campaign the 
regiment numbered about three hundred men present 
for duty. Two hundred and thirty-three were transferred 
to the fifty-sixth regiment, most of whom were re-enlisted 
veterans from the twenty-first regiment.

Forty-second Regiment 

The Forty-second Regiment served two enlistments. 
The first of these was for nine months and extended from 
Sept. 30, 1862, until Aug. 20, 1863. In this enlistment 
the regiment served with distinction in Louisiana but 
suffered few casualties because the companies, excepting 
three which were captured at the very outset, were chiefly 
engaged in detached service. The second enlistment 
was for one hundred days and extended from July 22 
until Nov. 11, 1864. On this second term of service the 
organization served in protecting railroads and in guarding 
prisoners near Alexandria, Va.

Fifty-first Regiment 

The Fifty-first Regiment, a nine months' organization, 
left "Camp Wool," Worcester, Nov. 25, 1862, and pro- 
ceeded to North Carolina where it took part in the Golds- 
boro' expedition and served in guarding railroads. The 
regiment suffered severely from malaria and other forms of 
sickness, and deaths were numerous. In June, 1863, with 
the exception of 183 sick, the regiment proceeded to 
Fortress Munroe, Va., and although its time of enlistment 
was nearly elapsed the men volunteered to perform active 
service. Accordingly, they were assigned to duty in the 
protection of railroads and in outpost service and they 
took part in the pursuit of the Confederates from 
Gettysburg. 

On July 27, 1863, the regiment was mustered out, 
after a service of nearly ten months, during which it 
suffered a loss of 138 men out of an enrollment of 938.

Fifty-seventh Regiment 
The Fifty-seventh, called also the Second Veteran, 
Regiment was mustered into the service of the United 
States Apr. 6, 1864. It left the state April 18 with its 
organization hardly complete and was sent immediately 
to the front where it was continually engaged in the severe 
campaigns which characterized the last year of the war.

HISTORY OF MILLBURY 



It participated in the battles of the Wilderness, Spottsyl- 
vania, North Anna, and Cold Harbor, in the engagements 
before Petersburg including the charge at the explosion 
of the mine, also at Weldon R. R., Poplar Spring Church, 
and Hatcher's Run. With such arduous service the 
regiment became greatly reduced by death, sickness, 
wounds, and capture, so that at one time it entered action 
with only forty-five men in command of a lieutenant, 
and of these fifteen were lost. 

June 20, 1865, the Fifty-ninth regiment was consoli- 
dated with the Fifty-seventh. 

The regiment was mustered out of service July 30, 
1865, having suffered a loss by death alone of two hundred 
and forty-nine.

First Battalion of Heavy Artillery 

Several Millbury men who had served in the Tenth 
Unattached Company of Militia during its ninety days 
duty in the United States service re-enlisted in Co. F 
of the First Battalion of Heavy Artillery and were assigned 
to duty at Fort Warren in Boston Harbor, where impor- 
tant prisoners were confined. The company was mustered 
into the volunteer service Aug. 15, 1864, and was mus- 
tered out June 28, 1865. Although the enlistment was 
for one year, the termination of the war made the full

25 of warrant (a gravel pit near the house of John Marl- 
boro') if in their opinion the interests of the town will not

icating liquors shall ever be sold upon said premises, the 
title to said land shall revert to the town." 

The committee appointed at the annual meeting in 
1873 on water supply in case of fire reported, and the 
report was accepted. Two routes were surveyed — one 
taking the water from Singletary Pond and the other 
from Hathaway's Pond. The committee reported that 
the most feasible and reliable plan for furnishing an ade- 
quate supply of water for fire purposes was by taking the 
water from Singletary Pond. 

The vote passed on the 16th of March concerning a 
committee to consider the subject of a Town Hall was 
amended so that the committee was to consist of seven 
persons, and it was instructed to select a suitable site 
for a Town-House. 

Voted, that the trustees of cemeteries be a committee 
to ascertain the graves of any soldiers on the roll of honor 



ANNALS 1871-1890 193 

of this town which are not marked, and report the cost

May 7. " Voted, to receive the majority and minority 
reports of the committee on Town-House." 

November 7. " Voted, that the citizens of this town 
are opposed to any division of the County of Worcester. " 

1875 

March 15. The town revoked the acceptance of the 
act in regard to road commissioners, and abolished the 
board. The outgoing board of selectmen appointed six- 
teen highway surveyors. 

Two hundred dollars were appropriated for headstones 
for soldiers' graves. 

It was voted that the selectmen divide the town into 
highway districts. 

1876 

March 20. The town "voted to appropriate seventy- 
five dollars to furnish the armory in Aiken's Block," (for 
the use of the local military company).

lighting the streets. 

"Voted, that the town prohibit the encampment of

194 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

"Voted, that the selectmen be authorized to take for 
the town from the Commissioners of Inland fisheries a 
lease to the Town of Dorothy Pond." 

"Voted, that the town build a Town-Hall," and a 
committee of nine was appointed to secure plans and esti- 
mates, C. D. Morse being chairman. They were also to 
find a suitable location, and report. 

" Voted three thousand dollars for support of the poor." 

March 25. The committee on a town-house reported, 
recommending both the Rhodes and the Torrey lots. 
The committee desired to report further. The voters 
decided in favor of the Rhodes lot (the present location). 
The committee consisted of C. D. Morse, David Atwood, 
L. L. Whitney, John Hopkins, Esq., Rufus Carter, B. B. 
Howard, I. B. Sayles, Nathan H. Sears, H. L. Bancroft. 

April 13. The committee on plans and estimates for 
a Town-House reported that, as the town had voted for 
the Rhodes lot, they had prepared their plans and esti- 
mates for that lot. Their total estimate of cost was 
twenty-eight thousand dollars for the building and lot, 
ready for the fixtures, and they recommended that the 
town adopt the plans. A minority report was presented, 
which agreed with the majority report, so far as it related 
to the plans, but differed in regard to the manner of stating 
the probable cost of the same. The minority believed 
the building would cost not less than thirty-five thousand 
dollars. It was then voted that the plans presented by 
the committee be adopted. The same committee was 
then chosen as a building committee, with power to build, 
but were instructed that they should not do so until the 
money was appropriated. 

A motion was made to borrow twenty-eight thousand 
dollars, in anticipation of the taxes of 1878 and 1879, for 
the same purpose. The vote passed but it was afterwards 
rescinded. Attempts were afterwards made to change 
the location for the new town-house; but the $28,000 was 
finally voted, payable in ten years, and the Rhodes lot 



ANNALS 1871-1890 195 

was retained. As a matter of fact the building far 
exceeded in cost the original estimate. $2,000 was paid 
for the site, and the town purchased an additional strip 
of land. The total cost of the Town House completed 
was $40,936.72.

1880 

March 22. A town-meeting was held for the first time 
in the new Town Hall. 

It was "voted to reduce the number of the school com- 
mittee from six to three, as provided by law. " 

One thousand dollars were voted for the town library, 
to be expended for books only. It was also voted that 
the "reading room" (so-called) be set apart to be used 
for the town library. 

It was voted that the old town hall in the Academy or 
High School building be turned over to the school com- 
mittee, to be used for school purposes. 

Five hundred dollars were voted for sidewalks, from the 
Crane and Waters mill to Wheeler's Village. 

It was voted that Millbury be a fair town, and that the 
management of fairs be under the control of the selectmen. 

May 5. The selectmen appointed tramp officers who 
were to protect the citizens by arresting all tramps. 

1881

The committee on the pollution of the Blackstone 
River made a partial report and they were instructed to 
press the matter as they saw fit. 

The committee chosen to select names for a board of 
health reported a list of names, but it was voted that 
further consideration of the report be postponed. 

June 6. Steam power was used on the Millbury branch 
of the Boston and Worcester R. R. Previously, the 
passenger car had been hauled by one horse. The 
freight cars had required several horses to draw them.

committee on the pollution of the Blackstone. 

1882

hold town offices and to vote in town affairs, on the same 
terms as male citizens." 

Concerning an article in the warrant "To see if the 
town will purchase the unfenced portion of the 'Old 
Common' so-called, &c," it was voted that it be left to 
the selectmen and if a clear title could be obtained one 
hundred and fifty dollars were voted for its purchase. 
There is no record in the next year's report of any such 
purchase. (See chapter on Topography.) 

Voted to accept the report of the committee on water 
supply and fire-engines. 

March 29. A committee was appointed to make 
inquiries about pipes and hydrants in the streets.

198 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

charged into the Blackstone River." This above action 
was taken as a mark of the town's disapproval of the 
petitions presented to the legislature with the hope of 
amending the act passed the previous year (1886). (See 
annals, 1913.) 

It was "Resolved: that the selectmen be instructed

the acoustic properties in the Town Hall. 

The committee on water supply were instructed to

bicycles from Plymouth Rock to San Francisco, a distance 
of about 3900 miles. 



200 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 



CHAPTER XIII 

FORMER SOCIETIES IN MILLBURY 

Millbury has much in its past history of which it may 
well be proud. Not only in mechanical lines did interest 
and inventiveness manifest themselves but a wholesome 
effort to gain intellectual benefit has resulted in the 
establishment of many societies of a literary and moral 
nature. For Millbury the inception of some of these is 
claimed, but, in the absence of comprehensive knowledge, 
it may at least be asserted that the townspeople were 
among the first, if not the first, to organize the Lyceum 
and to form a Temperance society. Following, is a brief 
statement of some of these old societies, which have now 
gone out of existence, but which in their day stimulated 
the interests of the people, both men and women, and 
were thoroughly wholesome in their influence on the 
community. 

Temperance Societies 

About 1808, a temperance society existed in what is 
now Millbury, and the claim has been made that it was 
the first society of the kind formed in the United States. 
The first temperance society, however, in this country, 
of which any record is at hand, was organized April 30, 
1808, in a schoolhouse in Moreau, Saratoga county, 
New York. Our town society soon followed this lead. 
Its purpose was not total abstinence, but moderation in 
drinking. 

About 1820, a society was organized which became a 
power for good. Its purpose was the non-use of intox- 
icating liquor, except cider. Even the good old ministers 
of those days had not come to the point of total abstinence, 
for in the report of the county-cattle show in 1824, the 




ELM STREET. LOOKING EAST FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL 



FORMER SOCIETIES IN MILLBURY 201 

Rev. Joseph Goffe, of Millbury, took a premium of six 
dollars for the best cider, and in the Worcester Spy of the 
same year he had an article on how to make good cider. 

March 18, 1864, the Blackstone Lodge of Good 
Templars was organized. Nathan H. Sears was the first 
worthy chief templar. In 1871, the membership was one 
hundred and fifty-seven. The presiding officer was Pliny 
W. Wood. 

A a Gough" temperance society was formed in the 
Baptist Church in 1886 and through the influence of this 
society many signed the pledge. 

The Millbury Temperance Union followed in the latter 
years and for a few years it was a power in the community. 
Its first president was L. L. Whitney, and at one time 
the membership exceeded one hundred. Through the 
influence of this society, the town was carried for no- 
license three years in succession. 

Roman Catholic temperance organizations have existed 
in town from time to time. 

It has been stated that the career of John B. Gough 
as a temperance lecturer may be said to have begun in 
this town. 

Dr. Charles H. Jewett, the prominent temperance 
worker, was a physician here previous to the devotion of 
his time and efforts to the temperance cause. 

Religious Charitable Society 
In February, 1812, a number of gentlemen belonging 
to Sutton and Northbridge assembled to consider the 
propriety of forming a society to aid young men of piety 
and talents in acquiring an education for the gospel 
ministry. On the 20th of the following May men from 
various parts of the county assembled at the North Parish 
of Sutton (Old Common) and listened to a sermon by 
the Rev. Dr. John Crane, of Northbridge. Temporary 
officers were chosen. The first annual meeting was held 
at the North Parish meeting-house, Sept. 16, 1812, when 



202 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

permanent officers were chosen. There were also present 
representatives from sixteen branches which had been 
formed in other places, since the first gathering. Of the 
officers chosen, the following were from Sutton North 
Parish: — Aaron Pierce, Esq., vice-president, and the Rev. 
Joseph Goffe, treasurer. The society was incorporated 
under the laws of Massachusetts, approved by the 
Governor, Feb. 10, 1814. At the third annual meeting, 
held at Holden, in 1814, it was reported that eight gospel 
students had received aid during the preceding year. 
At the annual meeting, in 1815, Millbury was credited 
with paying into the Treasury $48.72. In the course of 
its existence, the society did much good in fitting young 
men to labor for the ministry, and it is a satisfaction to 
know that in our territory the society was organized and 
the work begun. The books of this society have been 
deposited with the Congregational Education Society 
at Boston. 

Millbury Branch of "The Carmina Templia Society" 

This musical society was already formed in 1820, as we 
find in an old record book of the organization the following 
minute: "August 30, 1820, voted, that the Reverend 
Joseph Goffe be the President of this Society, Capt. 
Charles Heald be the Vice-President, and Asa Andrews 
Secretary. Voted, that John Tisdale be the first leader, 
and Timothy Longley a second leader, and John F. 
Barton, a third leader." 

In 1821 and 1822, other names mentioned as officers and 
leaders were: Elias Lovell, Leprelette Hunt, Benjamin 
Goddard, and Joseph W. Wright. Choristers chosen the 
latter year were Hervey Pierce, Col. John F. Barton, and 
Elias Lovell. The meetings for singing were held at the 
church building on the old common, but when business 
was transacted the meeting would adjourn to a dwelling- 
house. The name of Mr. John Barton is mentioned as 
a bass leader. The list of members is as follows:

names are still in existence. 

Lyceum 

What is known as the old ''Lyceum" is believed to have 

originated in this town. It was the parent of the debating 

societies which sprung up afterwards in many places in 

New England. The meetings were devoted also to lec-

tures on various subjects by distinguished speakers. 
Among those who appeared in Millbury were Wendell 
Phillips, Thomas Starr King, Horace Greeley, Dr. Charles 
Jewett, John B. Gough, and the Rev. I. Holbrook. 
The latter said that he had investigated the matter of 
the origin of the Lyceum and was satisfied that the 
institution originated here in Millbury about 1820. 
Since that time similar societies have been in existence 
in town. In 1856, a society of the kind flourished at 
Bramanville of which the late Bishop Willard Mallalieu 
was president when a young man. Connected with this 
society were many prominent citizens. The meetings 
were held in the vestry of the First Congregational 
Church, and in the meetings many young men of the 
period made their first attempts at public speaking. 

Millbury Lyceum 

A Society called the "Millbury Lyceum" existed here 
in 1 869-' 70 which was formed "For the purpose of in- 
dividual improvement in public speaking and with a view 
to the attainment of a wider familiarity with subjects of 
historical interest or of current importance, and to the 
exercise of that respectful toleration and free expression 
of difference in opinion which best subserves the formation 
of correct judgment." The officers were: — 

President, John Hopkins; Vice Presidents, A. H. 
Waters, Silas Dunton, W. A. Lovell, George A.. Flagg; 
Secretaries, Luther M. Lovell, and Rufus R. Crane; 
Treasurer, Ira N. Goddard. 

Committee, R. N. Holman, F. H. Underwood, George 
N. Smith, William M. Clinton, N. H. Sears, D. J. Duggan. 

Among those connected with this Society we find the 
following names, the list evidently being incomplete. 

J. T. Treadwell E. Tobey 

Rev. E. Y. Garrette Dr. W. H. Lincoln 

S. N. Rogers Rev. S. Fowler 

G. W. Heywood Dr. S. W. Cooke 
Dr. Leonard Spaulding 



FORMER SOCIETIES IN MILLBURY 205 

This society should not be confounded with the earlier 
one formed in 1820. 

Agricultural Societies 

In the early days of Millbury a society existed for the 
promotion of agriculture and had in its possession a small 
library. Meetings were held for a time at the Armory 
Village but other societies came into existence and it 
finally went the way of many other early organizations. 

Many years later, a similar society was formed at West 
Millbury, called "The West Millbury Lyceum." Agri- 
cultural talks, debates, and an occasional exhibition, 
consisting of declamations, etc., made many an evening 
pass pleasantly. 

Millbury Atheneum 
In 1832, this organization possessed a library. Its 
meetings were held at Armory Village. From one of the 
volumes once in the Society's library, we extract the 
following information: 

"Rules of The Millbury Atheneum, or Social Library 

"1. The Library will be opened on every Saturday, from 2 
to 9 P. M. 

"2. Each share draws two volumes. 

"3. No books can be retained more than three weeks, unless 
on penalty of one cent a volume per day. 

"4. The holders of books are not permitted to loan them to 
others. 

"5. When different applications are made for the same book, 
it shall go to the highest bidder. 

"6. For defacing, mutilating, or otherwise injuring a book 
damages will be assessed by the Librarian. 

"7. No proprietor will be permitted to draw books while 
fines or taxes remain against him unpaid. 

"8. Shares, Three dollars each.— Transferrable at the 
Library room." 

The books belonging to this society, as well as those 
which belonged to the Agricultural Society previously 
in existence, were donated to the "Society of Social 
Friends." 



206 history of millbury 

Maternal Association 

As early as 1834, the above organization which was 
connected with the First Congregational Church was in 
existence, as its records show. Meetings were held once 
a month. The object of the society was to bring children 
up to become useful men and women. Article 7 of the 
by-laws was as follows: "It shall be the duty of this asso- 
ciation to provoke one another unto love and good works, 
and to defend each other's religious character from all 
unjust aspersions and surmises, whenever thus assailed." 

The officers were: 

President, Emily W. Herrick 

Vice Presidents, Rebeckah March and Experience T. Holman. 

Members : 

Mrs. Bancroft Emily W. Herrick 

Rebeckah P. March Experience T. Holman 

Rebeckah Gocldard Eunice D. Goulding 

Angeline Goodell Betsey Blanchard 

Harriet Putnam Sarah Wood 

Sarah W. Godell Clara Hall 

Lydia W. Woodward Mrs. A. Gleason 

Eliphal Lovell Mrs. H. Tainter 

The president of the association was the wife of the 
Rev. Osgood Herrick, pastor of the First Congregational 
Church. 

Anti-Slavery Society 

A society of this name was in existence in 1835, 
instituted to resist the aggressions of the slave-power, and 
the organization had much to do with changing the senti- 
ment of the townspeople on the question of human slavery. 
Sterry S. Kegwin was secretary, and on the executive com- 
mittee were Samuel Waters, Dea. Tyrus March, Alexander 
Hamilton, John Morse, and Capt. Joseph Griggs. An 
active member of the society at this time was Orra Goodell, 
who hated slavery as much as he did the liquor business. 
The following extract from the work of "Garrison and 
his Times" shows the state of feeling, in Worcester county, 
against anti-slavery societies in the same year. "On the 



FORMER SOCIETIES IN MILLBURY 207 

10th of August, 1835, at Worcester, Mass., the Rev. 
Orange Scott, a Methodist clergyman of high standing, 
while delivering an anti-slavery lecture, was assailed by a 
son of Ex-Governor Lincoln, who with the assistance 
of another man tore up his notes and offered him personal 
violence." (He was the clergyman who delivered the 
sermon at the dedication of the Methodist Church of 
Millbury in 1840.) 

Female Benevolent Society 
On Friday, Sept. 9, 1838, some ladies of West Millbury 
met at the home of Alfred Torrey and formed a society 
with the above name. The Society did much good in 
its day, helping needy ones at home and abroad. The 
list of members included many of the early prominent 
families. 

Moral Reform Society 

A society called "The East Millbury Female Moral 
Reform Society " formerly existed in town. Its purpose 
was, as its title implies, the moral and religious improve- 
ment of the community. The "East Millbury" referred 
to was more commonly called Armory Village, i. e., 
Millbury Center. 

Society of Social Friends 
In the '50's and Ws literary and social interests were 
fostered among the faculty, pupils, and local friends of 
Millbury Academy (as the High School continued to be 
frequently called) by the "Society of Social Friends." 
Meetings were held at various houses, a library was main- 
tained, and for some time a paper called "The Port Folio" 
was edited by a committee from the society. 

Philodoxian Debating Club 
In the number of "The Port Folio," for Jan. 24,' 1853, 
the following notice is given: " Debating Club. A large 
number of people connected with the Academy, and 



208 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

many others, have formed a society called the Philodoxian 
Club. The Club hold regular meetings for debate at the 
Academy, on Monday evening of each week. The meet- 
ings and debates are open to all . . . " At a meeting of 
the club held at the time the perennial interests of man- 
kind are shown in the choice of a subject which was, 
"Are the Abilities of the Sexes Equal?" O. H. Waters 
was appointed to uphold the affirmative and H. A. Gale 
the negative. The secretary of the club at the time was 
A. Armsby. 

Ladies' Union Entertainment Society 
Just before the erection of Union Chapel at West Mill- 
bury, in 1888, and for some time later, an organization 
bearing this name flourished in the village. Its work 
was similar to that now fostered by the present society 
into which it was merged. The members accomplished 
a work of lasting importance in giving to the village 
the present Union Chapel, for with them originated the 
idea of the structure and, with the help of others, the work 
was carried along until the building was completed. (See 
chapter on "Churches.") 

Millbury Catholic Total Abstinence Society 
This society was organized largely through the influ- 
ence of William A. Walsh, Jan. 6, 1904, and was a factor 
for good from the time of its organization. It was re- 
quired of all members that the pledge be taken, on the 
first Sunday of each year, to abstain from all intoxicating 
drinks. Its first officers were: 

Spiritual Director Father Conlon 

President William A. Walsh 

Vice President Robert F. Brown 

Rec. Sec. William R. Power 

Finan. Sec. Farnum Stevens 

Treasurer Daniel F. Donovan 

Board of Directors: — D. F. Kinnery, George F. Jaffery, Frank 
Flood, Charles A. Kennedy, James L. Ivory.

212 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Eleven thousand dollars were appropriated for schools. 

A loan of five thousand dollars was authorized with 
which to pay for abolishing the grade crossing at Gowing 
Bridge. 

The genuineness of the Indian relics which have been 
found in Millbury and Sutton from time to time in years 
past was settled today beyond question. At least, 
Prof. Frederick W. Putnam of Peabody Institute, Cam- 
bridge, is satisfied that the bowls, fancy cut stones, arrow 
heads, and picks, are the handiwork of the Indians. 
With Professor Putnam, were his assistants in the 
museum, George A. Dorsey and C. C. Willoughby, also 
Professor Putnam's class of four young men. 

The company went out on Soapstone Hill, to the rear 
of W. E. Home's store, just off High street. Some of 
Mr. Home's men were put to work digging under the 
shadow of the big ledge which hangs from the hillside. 
At a depth of about three feet, seven or eight Indian 
bowls were dug up. Most of these were broken. The 
broken ones were about six inches in diameter. One 
perfect bowl found was oval shaped, about nine inches 
long and six inches wide, with knobs on the ends to do 
service as handles. 

Two stone picks were also found. Professor Putnam 
stated that the genuineness of one of the picks cannot be 
questioned, while the second one was probably the handi- 
work of the Indians as well. One of the picks was made 
of quartzite and was about eight inches long and two 
inches thick. The quartzite is a mixture of quartz and 
mica. The second one was much smaller, being about 
four inches long and an inch thick. This was of pure 
quartz and was very hard. 

Professor Putnam said that he should subject the 
quartzite pick to a water cleansing, this being the only 
way to preserve the natural surfaces. He said rubbing 
it with the hand would be very injurious, while, by allowing 
a stream of water to run on the pick, he should expect to 



ANNALS 1891-1913 213 

find particles of soapstone on 'the end where the pick had 
been used in shaping the rudely made implements and 
dishes made by the Indians. 

The bowls found were made of steatite, or soapstone. 

The floor of the cave under the big ledge was dug up 
to a considerable depth, but nothing more than some 
curious rock specimens were found. 

Following dinner, the relics found were discussed, and 
some of the other relics found in this vicinity recently 
were exhibited. 

George Burton Stowe showed a bowl of soapstone, 
about 8 inches deep and 20 inches in diameter. The 
bowl was found on the Freeman farm at West Millbury, 
and for forty years had been used for watering hens and 
chickens. The bowl weighed about 100 pounds. Pro- 
fessor Putnam said that the bowl was the work of the 
Indians. 

Mr. Rockwood showed a fishhook, a number of bones 
of fowls and animals, fancy cut stones and several 
bowls, all of soapstone, found near Soapstone hill, some 
of them within two weeks. 

Mr. Crane showed a gouge 4 inches long and 2 inches 
wide, made from stone, found by him near Ramshorn 
pond last fall. 

All these relics were, in the opinion of Professor Putnam, 
the work of the Nipmuc Indians. 

During the afternoon a number of bowls and picks were 
dug up, similar to those found in the morning. Mr. 
Willoughby exposed a number of plates for making some 
pictures of the locality. The students took the relics 
with them to be placed in the museum at the Peabody 
Institute. 

1896 

Ten men were added to Lion Engine Co. at West Mill- 
bury and one hundred dollars were appropriated with 
which to pay them. 



214 HISTORY OF MILLBURY

as burial agent. 

In accordance with the report of the committee on 
appropriations, the town voted that Union School building 
be repaired, that rooms be added, that a good heating 
and ventilating plant be installed and that ten thousand 
dollars be appropriated for the purpose. 

On page 326 of the town records for the year 1900 
appears for the first time the Town Seal. The committee 
chosen at a former meeting reported as follows: 

"Having considered the matter referred to them, the 
committee caused to be engraved a seal, the device of 
which has for a central figure a mill, to represent industries 
from which the town received its name, Millbury, and 
two crossed muskets, a product of the town, used in three 
of our country's wars. By virtue of the authority 
reposed in us under the aforesaid vote, the seal, an impres- 
sion of which is hereupon affixed, is made and established 
the Town Seal of Millbury."

Court, Sept. 26, 1895. 

The selectmen claimed that the city had failed so to 
remove from its sewage, before it was discharged into the 
river,the offensive and polluting properties and substances, 
and asked that an injunction be issued ordering the city 
to remove from its sewage, before it was discharged into 
the river, the polluting properties. Robert M. Morse, 
Boston, one of the most widely known attorneys in New 
England, was counsel for the town. Five years ago 
the case was referred to James A. Stiles as auditor. 
Thomas H. Sullivan was also counsel for the town, and 
Worcester's interests were looked after by its law depart- 
ment. The case was the first on the general docket of the 
Supreme Court which was called before Justice Braley 
and there was no objection to the dismissal of the case. 



CENTENNIAL 225 



CHAPTER XV 
CENTENNIAL 

The centennial of the incorporation of Millbury as a 
town was celebrated by exercises extending over four days 
and culminating on Wednesday, June 11, 1913, the one 
hundredth anniversary of the town's separation from 
Sutton. In the previous year the board of selectmen, 
consisting of Mr. William W. Windle, Mr. Fred H. Rice, 
and Mr. Peter C. Paradis, together with the History

W. Aiken, Esq., Mr. Henry W. Carter, Mr. John C. Crane, 
Mr. Ira N. Goddard and Mr. Henry A. Phillips, consti- 
tuted a committee to make and carry out plans for a 
suitable celebration of the Centennial of the Town. This 
committee organized with Mr. Windle as chairman and 
Mr. Phillips as secretary. For this celebration the town 
appropriated thirty-two hundred dollars to which the 
committee added over four hundred dollars that was 
received from various sources. This general committee

The program of the Centennial prepared by the pub- 
licity committee had on its front cover a picture of the 
Torrey House, which has been the Millbury place of 
abode for ex-President William Howard Taft during his 
visits to the town. The pages of the program, fourteen 
in number, were devoted to the names of committees, 
Historic Facts, a notice of the Historic Exhibit, a list of 
eighty-eight historic spots, and the order of events to be 
followed in the celebration. 

Before the time of the celebration had arrived the 
town was prettily decorated on its main streets with 
bunting by day and with electric lights by night. The 
committee on historic spots had put placards on notable 
buildings and locations in all parts of the town. 

The celebration of the Centennial began on Sunday 
morning, June 8, with special services in all the churches 
of the town. 

At the First Congregational Church the service was 
conducted by the pastor, the Rev. William C. Martyn, 
and the sermon was delivered by the pastor-emeritus, 
the Rev. George A. Putnam, whose subject was, "What 
the passing Years have Contributed to the Christian 
Unity among the Churches." 

At the Second Congregational Church, the pastor, the 
Rev. Robert W. Dunbar, gave a short history of the 
church, taking as his text, "The Lord, our God, be with 



228 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

us, as he was with our fathers, let him not leave us nor 
forsake us." 

At the Baptist Church, the pastor, the Rev. Hamilton 
E. Chapman, gave a history of the Baptists in Millbury. 

At the Methodist Episcopal Church, the pastor, the 
Rev. Norman H. Flickinger, spoke upon, " Fraternalism 
and the Centennial Celebration." 

At St. Bridget's Church, the Rev. John F. Griffin gave 
special sermons at the morning masses. 

At the Church of the Assumption, the Rev. Louis E. 
Barry was assisted by the Very Rev. Alexis R. Grolleau, 
of Spencer, who delivered the sermon, the French societies 
of the town attending in a body. 

At the Unitarian Church, the pastor, the Rev. William 
T. Hutchins was assisted by the Rev. Lewis G. Wilson 
of Boston, who delivered the sermon. 

At all churches in the morning unusual numbers were 
in attendance, both of townspeople and visitors,and special 
music in each church added enrichment to the services. 

The out-door exercises of the celebration began at 
four o'clock Sunday afternoon with a band concert given 
on the grounds of the First Congregational Church in 
Bramanville by the American Brass Band of Providence. 
Sacred, historic, and patriotic music was rendered to a 
throng of five thousand people. Beautiful weather 
favored the observance of the day in all its features and, 
indeed, throughout the celebration nature favored the 
townspeople and visitors with days rarely beautiful even 
for June. 

Monday, June 9, had no official provision for celebration 
in the daytime but the hours were spent in visiting friends, 
in renewing old acquaintances, and in visiting the scenes 
of former association. Finishing touches were given the 
decorations and other last things to be done were com- 
pleted in getting ready for the two following days. 

During this day opportunity was given parents, friends, 
and visitors, to see exhibits of school work in the different 



CENTENNIAL 229 

school buildings. These exhibits ranked well in practical 
value with other features of the celebration. Work was 
shown in each exhibit which illustrated the accomplish- 
ments of the pupils in all grades. These displays were 
arranged under the direction of the superintendent of 
schools, Mr. Chauncey C. Ferguson, but each separate 
exhibit was given under the immediate supervision of 
the principal in charge of the building. Some of the 
departments more recently introduced attracted special 
attention, such as sewing and manual training in the 
elementary grades and commercial work in the high school. 
A good attendance at all the schools showed the interest 
that was taken in the exhibitions. 

On Monday evening, a Centennial ball was given in 
the town hall which was decorated and illuminated for 
the occasion. At eight o'clock a concert, which was 
given for an hour by Chaffin's orchestra of Worcester, 
was greatly enjoyed by many music lovers. At nine 
o'clock the grand march started, led by Mr. and Mrs. 
Charles B. Perry. Dancing followed through the evening. 

Tuesday, June 10, marked the completion of all prep- 
arations and the opening of the town to neighboring 
inhabitants who came in by the thousands. A registration 
bureau was maintained by the hospitality committee, 
assisted by pupils from the high school. In two days 
about seventy-five hundred registered, including many 
former residents of the town, but the number of people at- 
tending the Centennial exercises exceeded this many times. 

On Tuesday morning, at nine o'clock, the Historic 
Exhibit in Blanchard Hall was opened to the public. The 
committee had diligently scoured the region for articles 
illustrative of the times when the town was first set off 
and of the important developments in its history. The 
walls of the room were covered with burlap and partitions 
were erected, dividing the space into sections; festoons 
were hung about the walls and portraits of many makers 
of Millbury were hung on all sides. 



230 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Over a thousand articles altogether made up the exhibit. 
Samplers and other examples of needle-work, some of it 
of rarely fine texture and handiwork, were displayed in 
considerable numbers. Rare articles, prized as family 
heirlooms, were brought together in rich profusion. In 
protecting cases there were many rare exhibits, among 
them being original signatures of George Washington, 
John Hancock, President James Munroe, and President 
Andrew Jackson. 

The general arrangement of the exhibit brought together 
articles of common association as much as practicable. 
On the left, an old fashioned kitchen was set off with its 
massive brick fire-place, old fashioned dining table, high- 
back settles, churns, old-fashioned chairs, warming-pans, 
spinning-wheels, and other articles suggestive of the solid 
comfort of the old New England kitchen. 

Across the room, articles used in the parlor were seen 
including the piano, brought into Millbury in 1833 by 
Asa Waters (2d), and believed to be the first piano 
brought into the county. 

In an ante-room, the evolution of the bureau was shown, 
including a chest of drawers, built in 1750, and later 
modifications in the patterns of 1800 and 1840. On the 
walls of this room were old maps of the town and pictures 
of former industrial plants. 

On a platform at one end of the hall, an eccentric lathe 
was installed which was the modern form of the old 
Blanchard lathe that was perfected in Millbury and has 
revolutionized many industries because of its ability to 
turn irregular forms. This lathe was driven by electricity 
and several gun-stocks were turned out during the two 
days of the exhibition. It was especially appropriate 
that a gun stock be turned out as it was for this purpose 
that the lathe was invented by Mr. Blanchard, who put 
it into use in the Millbury Armory and in the United 
States armory at Springfield, soon after the completion 
of the first machines. 




THE ORIGINAL BLANCHARD LATHE 



CENTENNIAL 231 

Along the wall at the right of the entrance was an exhibit 
of relics from the wars in which Millbury has been rep- 
resented, including a list and many pictures of those who 
served in the War of the Rebellion. Uniforms of the 
Mexican war were illustrated from parts of militia equip- 
ment used in that period. The revolution was made real 
by some cartridge boxes like those carried by the patriot 
soldiers of '76 and by some flint-lock arms of the period. 

A collection of likenesses that attracted special atten- 
tion was one that was grouped about the picture of ex- 
President Taft. This included, also, a bust of Judge 
Taft, father of the ex-president; a picture of his grand- 
father, Samuel D. Torrey; and a picture of Mrs. Taft, 
mother of the ex-president, and a daughter of Mr. Torrey. 

Over the door, as one entered, was a large portrait of 
Peter Willard, colored, who was a Revolutionary soldier; 
next on the wall were portraits of Gen. Caleb Burbank 
and his wife. He is reputed to have selected the name 
"Millbury" for the town. The portrait of the Rev. 
Joseph Goffe hung next, then that of Elijah Brigham of 
Westborough, and his wife. He was the first congressman 
from this district. Next came the portrait of Thomas 
Blanchard, inventor, after whom the hall was named. The 
next portraits were those of Dr. and Mrs. William Bowen 
Moore. He practiced medicine here from 1829 until 
1843. On the further wall from the entrance on the left 
were the portraits of Col. Jonathan Holman, of Revolu- 
tionary fame, and of his wife, Susan, daughter of Captain 
Trask. Next was the portrait of Asa Waters (1st), and 
his wife. He was an extensive land owner and early 
manufacturer. Next came his son, Asa Waters (2d), 
and his wife. He was an inventor, a land owner, and 
manufacturer, who maintained and developed water 
privileges on the Blackstone river. Next hung a portrait 
of Col. Asa Holman Waters, land owner and manufacturer, 
and one of his sister, Miss Sarafina Waters. Beside 
these there was a portrait of Mrs. Susan Hovey, mother 



232 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

of Mrs. Waters. Next was a portrait of Mrs. Adeline 
Hume Ryan, wife of William Ryan. The next in line 
was a portrait of Capt. Charles Hale, manufacturer. 
Next were portraits of Mr. John Ryan and of Caroline 
Ryan, his wife. On the extreme right in this line of 
portraits were those of David B. Harrington and his wife, 
Amy Sophia, former residents of the town. 

The hall was continually thronged with visitors, many 
of whom recognized some family heirloom and illustrated 
by story the uses and occasions for which the various 
articles were intended. 

At ten o'clock, Tuesday forenoon, a football game 
(association) together with a band concert at Riverside 
Park, opposite the Providence Street schoolhouse, drew 
a large crowd. For its opponents the Millbury players 
had a team from Whitinsville. 

One of the prettiest and most enlivening sights seen in 
Millbury during the Centennial was the spectacle of 
children at their games, sports, and play, on the Torrey 
lot, Tuesday afternoon. A flag drill, a Scotch reel, "Green 
Sleeves" dance, swing song drill, German clap song, 
shoemaker's dance, minuet, and folk dances, were given. 
Then came a half-hour's sleight-of-hand performance, 
after which followed a flag drill, "Reap the flax" drill, 
and wand drill. Following these there were races for the 
different grades, including relay-races of much interest 
between teams from different schools. 

At half-past seven Tuesday evening a band concert 
was given at Bramanville by the Battery B band of Wor- 
cester and at its close a mammoth bonfire blazed up 
from the top of Burbank Hill,closing the events of the day. 

Wednesday, June 13, the great day of the celebration, 
dawned fair and mild, adding another to the beautiful 
days marked for the Centennial. Salutes from a six-inch 
gun, brought from the Watertown arsenal through the 
intervention of congressman Samuel E. Winslow, greeted 
the townspeople in the early morning. Bells were rung 



CENTENNIAL 233 

in the churches and from the factories the whistles were 
sounded at intervals. 

At seven in the morning, athletic sports were held on 
the common and an exhibition in fancy bicycle riding 
was given by Mr. William W. Windle. 

At nine o'clock, a Trades and Historic Parade started 
from Burbank Square and marched through West Main, 
Elm, Canal, Providence, Maple, and South Main Streets to 
Central Square, thence through North Main, West, and 
Water Streets to the High School grounds. Thomas H. 
Sullivan, Esq., was marshal, who was assisted by Harry 
M. Goddard, assistant marshal, and the following aids: 
Frank Home, William H. Brown, Hervey C. Pierce, Oscar 
H. Stowe, Joseph Jacques, Joseph Beasley, Charles H. 
Burbank, Albert F. Despard, Arthur Bellville, Arthur 
Bourbeau, Joseph Bois, S. Edgar Benjamin, Leo Paradis, 
Richard W. Proctor, Arthur H. Sullivan, Harry W. Thom- 
son, Harry Home, William D. Home. 

The parade was in three divisions and prizes were 
awarded in each, a silver loving cup being given for first 
prizes and gold medals for second. In the division of 
marching organizations, Court Millbury Foresters of 
America won the first prize and St. Jean Baptiste Society 
won the second. In the division composed of Society 
and Lodge floats, the float of the Woman's Relief Corps 
was awarded the first prize and that of the Millbury 
Grange the second. In the division composed of the 
floats of manufacturers, the float of the Cordis Mill won 
first prize and that of the Mayo Woolen Co. the second. 
In the merchants' division, the L. S. Waters Market float 
won the first prize and the Thibeault Bakery the second. 
In this parade the Salem Cadet Band, the Worcester 
Brass Band, and the Millbury Cadet Band marched and 
furnished music. 

During the early part of Wednesday afternoon, many 
citizens who owned automobiles offered them to any who 
wished to go to places of interest about the town, especially 



234 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

to the historic spots marked by the committee appointed 
to designate these and many availed themselves of the 
opportunity thus presented. At the same time the special 
guests of the day were escorted about the town. No 
procession was formed but single automobile parties were 
driven over interesting routes. 

At two o'clock Wednesday afternoon, athletic sports 
were held at Riverside Park, with a concert by the Wor- 
cester Brass Band. 

At half-past three o'clock, a band concert was given in 
Central square by the Salem Cadet Band. This was the 
beginning of the climax of the entire celebration, for at 
the close of this concert the honored guests were gathered 
on a specially built platform in front of Town Hall and 
addresses were made by Col. Samuel E. Winslow, con- 
gressman from the district, by Governor Pothier of 
Rhode Island, and by ex-President William H. Taft. 

Soon after the conclusion of the afternoon exercises, 
the Centennial Banquet was held in the Town Hall at 
which Henry W. Aiken, Esq., was toastmaster. After 
dinner addresses were given by ex-President Taft, by 
Colonel Winslow, by Governor Pothier of Rhode Island, 
and by Mayor George M. Wright of Worcester. 

After the banquet the company went to Riverside 
Park where the concluding exercises of all, the fireworks, 
were held. The Salem Cadet Band gave a concert during 
the early evening and at nine o'clock the pyrotechnic 
display began. Brilliant set-pieces were ablaze with light. 
Rockets pierced the air and colored lights illuminated the 
scene. Several persons who had travelled widely pro- 
nounced the fire-works to be the best that they had ever 
seen and none present was able to recall any other display 
that had been equal to this one in brilliancy and general 
effectiveness. It seemed as if the best and most brilliant 
pieces for pyrotechnic display that could be procured were 
set off in a dazzling sequence and the many thousands 
present were thrilled with amazement and awe as they 



CENTENNIAL 235 

saw the succession of thrilling spectacular productions. 
The climax came when the seal of the town was made 
to appear in a large set-piece and it was saluted by 
bombs of unusually sharp noise accompanied by bursting 
lights of dazzling brightness. 

From the beginning of the celebration on Sunday fore- 
noon, with services in the churches, until its close on 
Wednesday evening, the streets of the town were thronged 
with people. The numbers grew in volume until the 
closing evening when there were fully thirty thousand 
in attendance. From the very first the crowds were 
orderly and appreciative of the superior attractions which 
the Centennial presented and the serious, wholesome 
spirit in which all was given. There was an utter absence 
of roughness and rowdyism. In fact, there was not even 
any undue excitement or noisy demonstration. On every 
hand were heard words of unstinted praise for the com- 
mittee having the celebration in charge, for the balance 
and wide distribution of the attractions, and for the effi- 
cient and effective work of the sub-committees. Among 
the townspeople each seemed to vie with the other in 
helping to create an atmosphere that revealed an excellent 
spirit in the people of Millbury.

240 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 



CHAPTER XVI 

INDUSTRIES ON SINGLETARY STREAM 

Within the present bounds of the town of Millbury the 
first industry to be established was a grist-mill, which 
was evidently located on Singletary stream within fifty 
feet of the edge of the pond. The stream was soon after- 
ward called Mill brook and it left the pond at a point 
about seventy-five yards to the southeast (in the direction 
of Sutton) from the present outlet. The pond at that 
time was several feet higher than it is, ordinarily, at present, 
for there were no mills on the stream to draw down its 
level. 

The first right to establish an industry within the 
present bounds of Millbury was given by the proprietors 
of Sutton to Ebenezer Daggett and was worded as follows: 

"Ebenezer Daggett has the mile (mill) lot with ye priviledge 
of the stream to the lower falls upon condition that the sd Dagget 
or his heirs keep a grist mile for the use of ye town and if the sd 
Dagget neglect or refused to keep a mill for the use of ye town he 
shall return the Stream to the town again." 

In the Sutton Proprietors' records, dated Nov. 23, 1717, 
there is a more detailed description of this mill lot. The 
land was distributed by the proprietors among themselves 
in one hundred acre lots, each proprietor being entitled 
altogether to a propriety of five hundred acres. 

A record, or return of this "mill lot" was as follows: 

"the Northwest corner being a white oak tree on the west side 
of the mill brook, it being the Northwest corner thence running 
East, 30 degrees North, 85 rods to a heap of stones, being the north- 
west corner (northeast), thence running south 21 degrees East 184 
rods to land already laid out, a white oak tree marked near the 
south-east corner, thence running west 30 degrees south 68 rods 



INDUSTRIES ON SINGLETARY STREAM 241 

to a whitewood tree being the corner of Siblie's lot thence running 
South 30 degrees east to a white oak tree marked being a corner, 
thence running west 30 degrees South to the pond, west partly on 
the pond part on undivided land to the Northwest corner,the whole 
containing 116 acres, 16 acres allowed for the mill way and bad 
land laid out by Mr. Thorn. White, surveyor, and Draper and Mr. 
William King, committee." 

In 1720, John Singletary, a cooper by trade, moved to 
Sutton from Framingham and purchased land around the 
outlet of Crooked Pond, securing eight acres of Caleb 
Bigsby, ten acres of Samuel Parker, two acres of William 
Larned, and, possibly, other small lots. Feb. 7, 1720, he 
purchased from Ebenezer Daggett the tract secured by 
Daggett from the Proprietors which included the mill 
privileges and obligations. As it was many years before 
the rights on this stream for some distance below the 
pond passed into other hands, the early development of 
the grist-mill has been associated with the name of 
Singletary, father and sons. The description of this 
property is of interest not only for what it says, but also 
for what it does not say. . . It reads, "together with one 
Gristmile & stream thereto belonging, And one Dwelling 
house standing and being on the Tract aforesaid." (See 
Suffolk Co. Deeds, Vol. 36, p. 114.) This informs us 
that the mill was built and was a "going concern" in 
1720, having been erected while the property was in the 
possession of Mr. Daggett. It is also noteworthy that 
there is no mention of a dam and this is, apparently, for 
the reason that there was none to mention. Crooked 
Pond itself was, evidently, the mill pond for this first 
grist-mill and the w^ater was conducted through a sluice- 
way about thirty feet to the mill wheel which, very likely, 
was an under-shot wheel placed in the sluiceway. We 
are further led to this conclusion by a provision which 
John Singletary put in a deed signifying the transfer of 
four acres, bordering on Crooked Pond, to John Moore in 
which he stipulated that he reserved "the priviledge 
of flowing such part as the said pond (Crooked Pond) 



16 



242 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

shall flow." It is only an artificially raised pond, as 
Crooked Pond was raised to husband the water for his 
grist-mill, that needs to have legal reservations for over- 
flowing its usual limits. 

The probable foundations of this first grist-mill may 
still be seen on the easterly side of the road which runs 
close beside the pond directly opposite the old outlet. 
Stones are in place which show the probable outlines and 
the sluiceway may be traced. 

As the first provision of the proprietors of the mother 
town was for a grist-mill, the second need was for a saw- 
mill, for we presume that houses and other buildings were 
to be erected from the timber that was growing on the 
land which the settlers occupied. There was not much 
power derived from the first water wheel placed in the 
stream, as the fall of the water from the pond was not 
great. Accordingly, a dam was built running easterly 
and westerly between two prominent ledges, forming a 
pond which was used to furnish water for the second 
industry, a saw-mill, below the supposed site of the first 
grist-mill. This dam raised the stream so that a pond 
was formed that overflowed the location of the present 
road that runs from Sutton center along the shore of the 
pond and straight toward the corner by Mr. Warren A. 
Harris's home. This saw-mill pond, as it was called, 
was about six feet deep but it led the water to a place 
below which the land is much lower. The probable old 
foundations of the saw-mill were to the north of the sluice- 
way in the saw-mill dam and on a lower level, so that there 
could have been either an over-shot wheel or an under- 
shot wheel, for the lower level below the foundations give 
ample room for taking away the water from the wheel. 
This is the location known later as that of the Marble 
scythe shop. 

We find in the proprietors' book (May 29, 1721), a men- 
tion of saw-mill pond, so that, probably, soon after he 
purchased the stream rights, the grist-mill, and land there- 



INDUSTRIES ON SINGLETARY STREAM 243 

about, John Singletary erected the dam and the saw-mill. 
This saw-mill pond immediately became a landmark by 
which the road and meadows in that section of the town 
were located in descriptions of them. In 1735, this pond, 
dam, and saw-mill went into the possession of Richard 
Singletary, a son of John, and he kept it through his life- 
time for, in the will by which he conveys half of his prop- 
erty to his son-in-law to recompense him for taking care 
of himself and his wife, mention is made of the mill, and a 
provision that half the revenue derived from it be given 
to Mr. Singletary. 

In the deeds by which this property is transferred to the 
sons of John Singletary we find evidence that at the time 
there was no mill below the saw-mill, for in the deed to 
Richard Singletary he stated: 

"Excepting and reserving .... a priviledge of maintaining 
a dam where it now stands for a priviledge to my other sons and 
also a liberty of flowing and also a convenience of passing and re- 
passing with carts and Teemes with Gravel and Stones and Other 
materials for buildings and maintaining Sd Damm with a conven- 
ient way to & from sd damm to draw the gate as occasion shall 
serve." 

This deed was given July 9, 1735, twenty-one years after 
John Singletary had purchased the grist-mill and stream 
rights, as far as "the lower falls, " from Ebenezer Daggett. 
By this time the saw-mill had surpassed the grist-mill in 
importance, for the power derived immediately at the 
outlet of the pond was not adequate for all purposes, and 
plans were in his mind to build another grist-mill farther 
down the stream at a place which furnished greater water 
power. Provision for this lower privilege is made, in the 
reservation just mentioned, by which he could "draw the 
gate as occasion shall serve." 

In a deed given to his other son, Joseph Singletary, on 
the same day, conveying a tract of land bordering on the 
stream and just below the site of the saw-mill, he reserved 
the "priviledge of flowing so much of said land as shall 



244 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

be necessary for raising a pond for a corn mill which may 
be hereafter built upon my other land adjoining said land. " 

The mill that was erected by John Singletary in 1735, 
or soon after, remained in his possession until Mar. 21, 
1753, eighteen years later, when it passed into the posses- 
sion of Richard Singletary. Meanwhile, Richard Single- 
tary had purchased of others property adjoining the 
stream, so that he was in possession of all the mill privi- 
leges and the land adjoining on the Singletary Stream from 
the pond, down, over a quarter of a mile. He sold land, 
however, to the south of the saw-mill pond "reserving a 
right to improve that part of the premises flowed by the 
mill Dam for ye use of the mill" (saw-mill). This saw- 
mill pond is further verified from the location of the road 
which is used as a boundary of a plot of land which was 
sold when the mill was in operation. On one side it ran 
"south thirty- two degrees east on or by the Country 
road," starting "near sawmill pond." 

That the first mills were on the old channel of the Single- 
tary and above the present location of Mayo Mill No. 2, 
where it has previously been supposed that they were 
located, is further established by reference to a deed given 
to Abraham Waters, June 14, 1779, by Reuben Barton 
who received the property from Richard Singletary. 
In this deed there was conveyed: 

"the sole command of the water in the old Ditch so-called to 
maintain a floom there and to draw or stop the water at pleasure 
. . . further the said Abraham, his Heirs, or assigns, have here- 
by granted to them the right or priviledge of setting up any mill 
that he or they shall see cause on the old Saw Mill spot or any- 
where on said old Ditch he or they shall choose, &c." 

Twenty-nine years after Richard Singletary had secured 
the grist-mill erected by his father, John Singletary, he 
sold the property to his younger brother Amos. This 
included "thirty acres be the same more or less with a 
dwelling house and Barn & Grist mill thereon standing. " 
This is the first time that a Singletary has owned a water 



INDUSTRIES ON SINGLETARY STREAM 245 

privilege and mill that had any intervening proprietor 

between him and the pond itself, so we find the following: 

"Memorandom it is always to be remembered that ye sd Amos 
Singletary is to have ye Priviledge of Raising ye water up to a 
Certain mark made in a Rock upon the Right hand of ye Bridge 
on ye southerly side of the Premises." 

It is this grist-mill that has been of such importance to 
the town for upon its door was displayed the warrant for 
the meeting which marked the separation of North Parish 
as a precinct. The building stood on the privilege known 
as the Wheeler, or Mayo Mill No. 2, location. It was 
later used as a saw-mill as well as a grist-mill, or there 
were two mills together, and men now living can remem- 
ber when they were kept in operation by the successors of 
the Singletarys. 

Amos Singletary operated the mill from 1764, when it 
was purchased from his brother Richard, until 1777, when 
he sold it to Abraham Waters. In the meantime, he had 
erected another grist-mill on the premises, for in a deed 
the property is described as 

"The Farm on which I now live being about 30 acres — con- 
taining 2 Dwelling Houses, two Grist mills, and a barn & is bounded 
and butted as followeth. &c." 

In 1782, Abraham Waters sold the property to Judah 
Swift of New York State, and he, in 1790, sold it to 
Andrew 7 Eliot. It remained in his hands until 1812, w r hen 
it was sold at auction to Caleb Burbank. 

Caleb Burbank, who had previously acquired from his, 
father property which adjoined this mill site, also pur- 
chased the water rights to all the stream that flowed out 
of Singletary Lake. He built a dam along the shore of 
the pond near the outlet which enabled him to raise the 
water several feet higher than it had previously been 
possible for it to reach. At the same time he secured 
from several who owned property bordering on the pond 
the right to overflow their land by raising the water of the 
pond "to an Iron pin or bolt inserted in a large rock at 



246 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

the northwesterly end of the dam lately erected by said 
Burbank on the road leading from the North to the South 
Parish in said Sutton &c. " It is from conditions unified 
by Burbank's complete control of the waters of Singletary 
stream that rights and privileges are held by manufac- 
turers on the stream today. 

Another mill location that is above the Wheeler, or 
Mayo No. 2, privilege, though of much later origin, is the 
location on the present water course of the Harris saw-mill 
which stood near Singletary street just as the water 
emerges from under the knoll through which the under- 
ground water-course runs. This mill was built about 
1850, by Henry W. Harris, who soon afterward was 
associated with Marius M. Hovey in its operation. No 
other industry has ever occupied this site. Foundation 
stones of the structure may readily be seen. 

Mayo Mill No. 2 

On the presenc water privileges occupied on the Single- 
tary, that of the Wheeler, or Mayo No. 2, mill is first on 
the stream. Although the present buildings are further 
from the road than the early mills built by the Singletarys, 
the privilege is the same. 

In 1828 or 1830, buildings on the privilege were fitted 
up for the manufacture of cotton batting, under the 
direction of Deacon Henry Mills. After his occupancy 
the mill was operated by Isaac Hayden in making cotton 
prints. 

Just previous to 1835, a Boston company manufac- 
tured woolen goods here, but after continuing for a few 
years, its affairs became straitened and the creditors 
formed the Singletary Manufacturing Company, for 
securing debts due to some of its members from the Boston 
concern. In their aims, however, they were partially 
disappointed and after a few years the company was dis- 
continued. Capt. Amasa Wood was president of the 
Singletary company and he, with Samuel Davis (one of 



INDUSTRIES ON SINGLETARY STREAM 247 

the earliest lessees of the Court Mills of Worcester), A. G. 
Stiles, Horace Waters, and Asa Hunting were directors. 

Following the Singletary Mills, a concern called the 
"Boston and Millbury Co." occupied the site, but their 
mill was burned in 1843. Farnum and Jenks succeeded 
them and their mill was burned April 5, 1846. Indeed, 
the number of fires that have occurred here is noticeable. 
Then followed Mowry Farnum and, after him, Farnum 
and Wheeler. Jonathan D. Wheeler was next in possession 
and he operated the mill for many years. Later, the 
"Wheeler Cotton Mills Company" was incorporated 
with the following officers, W. H. Wheeler, president, and 
F. H. Wing, treasurer. The capital was stated to have 
been eighty thousand dollars. The company was prac- 
tically owned by Jonathan D. Wheeler, but on account 
of his ill health it was carried on in his interest for a com- 
paratively short time after which the building stood idle 
for some years. 

April 20, 1894, the mill, tenement-houses, land, and 
rights were sold to Samuel E. Hull, Augustus S. Winter, 
and Thomas Windle. Later on, in 1899, they undertook 
the manufacture of linen goods, the first venture in manu- 
facturing that kind of goods in Millbury. J. C. Hall of 
Boston was superintendent. His plan was to incorporate 
the Union Linen Co. (a Maine concern) and to manufac- 
ture bleached linen cloth through a patent process for 
extracting the gum from the flax. A considerable quan- 
tity of goods were made, but the attempt was finally 
abandoned. 

The Mayo Woolen Company was incorporated Oct. 
30, 1897, and on Sept. 23, 1910, this company bought the 
mill of S. E. Hull, A. S. Winter, and Thomas Windle, and 
the mill was called Mayo Mill No. 2. The purchase 
included the mill, mill-privilege, and tenements, without 
any machinery, together with some of the product of the 
linen company. The Mayo Company thoroughly 
repaired the building. 



248 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

This mill has twenty-six feet head of water, the most of 
any mill on Singletary stream, so that the location is a 
valuable one on this account, as well as because of the 
purity of its water, which comes directly from the lake. 
Connected with the mill are fifty-five acres of land and 
seven houses containing eleven tenements. 

West End Thread Company 

General Burbank at one time owned a shop located 
on the present site of the West End Thread Co's plant. 
In early days, Samuel Marble also had a scythe-shop here. 
About 1828, a machine shop was built on the spot by 
Harvey Waters. Previous to 1837, the Woodward Bros, 
operated a small woolen mill which was Mr. Waters' 
machine shop enlarged, and shortly afterward Wood- 
ward & Gorton, who manufactured woolen and cotton 
goods, were located here until about 1842, when they were 
succeeded by Abijah Larned. He was followed by Jonas 
A. Hovey & Co. From them it passed to Jonathan A. 
Pope and from him to James Brierly & Co. Jonathan A. 
Pope again was located here, in 1851. Later on, Emerson 
& Brierly followed him. Some time later, Crane & 
Waters purchased the privilege which they sold, in 1877, 
to L. L. Whitney, who manufactured yarns until 1884, 
when the mill was burned. In 1886, Mr. Whitney built 
a brick machine shop on the old site, which he leased to 
the Stonemetz Printers' Machine Co., of which Mr. 
Whitney was president. This company later removed 
from town. In 1892, Whitney and McDuff began the 
manufacture of linen thread at this place and continued 
the business for some years. 

Jan. 1, 1903, the West End Thread Co., a Boston con- 
cern, bought the property. The Boston Agents are Dean, 
Chase Company. The resident manager is Frederick W. 
Hooper and the superintendent is William Bright. The 
business of this company is the manufacture of linen shoe 
thread, carpet thread, and book-binders' thread. Since 



INDUSTRIES ON SINGLETARY STREAM 249 

boot and shoe manufacturers require a thread that will 
last as long as the other parts of the shoe,the high standard 
of work done by this company is evident. Beside spin- 
ning from the flax, this company also does its own bleach- 
ing and dyeing. 

The capacity of the plant has been many times enlarged 
by the addition of several fine brick structures where, at 
the birth of our town, only a little one-story shop marked 
the place. Improved machinery and new steam facilities 
have been added; a new water-way has been constructed 
from a good sized pond; and, in 1911 and 1912, five addi- 
tional comfortable houses were erected on the company's 
land. This concern is taking a foremost rank among 
the industries .of Millbury and it pays the second largest 

tax in town. ^ T 

Mayo Mill No. 1 

The privilege now occupied by Mayo Mill No. 1 is the 
one that has been most closely associated with the Bur- 
banks, although the Burbank paper mill stood over one 
hundred feet farther up the stream. It was at this 
privilege that, in 1776, Abijah Burbank, in response to a 
request voiced at a county convention, held May 31, 
1775, began the manufacture of paper. After the paper 
mill had become well established, five men and twelve 
women were employed. By operating the two engines 
to their full capacity for the accustomed fifteen hours a 
day, about fifteen hundred pounds of paper were produced 
in a week. It was hand labor, however, that was chiefly 
instrumental in producing the writing paper in this mill. 
Each sheet of paper was treated separately five or six 
times before it was ready for the market and three months 
were required in making the paper from the time that the 
rags were received until the finished product was ready 
for the market. 

As stated above, about 1812, the Burbanks controlled 
the water on Singletary stream and, as they apparently 
decided to give special attention to the manufacture of 



250 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

paper, they either took others into partnership with them 
at the other privileges or sold the rights entirely. In 
view of this retention of the paper-mill, other water rights 
were sold in terms of water sufficient to run two paper 
machines in the Burbank paper mill, so that enough water 
was granted to the privilege, now occupied by the West 
End Thread Co. and to the privilege now occupied by the 
Mayo Mill No. 3, sufficient to keep the two paper machines 
running in the Burbank paper mill within certain working 
hours. 

Caleb Burbank continued to operate the mill until the 
latter part of June, 1836, and, as there was need of having 
a definition of the amount of water required to run the 
paper machines, a legal deposition was given by him which 
declared that, though more machines were used in the 
mill at that time, than formerly, the amount of water 
required to operate them was no more than had previously 
been necessary to run two machines. Similar depositions 
were given by Gardiner S. Burbank, by Isaac Goddard 
who had "the general superintendence of the business," 
by Abial Jacques, a hydraulic expert, by Benjamin F. 
Martin, an engineer, and by William Hall, a mill-wright. 

The two engines which have meant so much in the water 
rights on the stream were estimated to have a capacity 
of six horsepower each. In the summer of 1831 two 
larger ones were installed and, in 1833, a third engine 
was put in. At this time an apron was put under the 
water-wheel to save water which wasted from the bucket 
and with this apron in place the three engines could be 
carried as well as the two could previously. Thus it is 
established that water rights granted in terms of the 
two former engines would mean that the whole amount 
that was needed to carry more engines at a later date, 
because of the improvement secured by the addition of 
an apron at the water wheel, was needed to carry the two 
engines when the water privileges were sold. 



INDUSTRIES ON SINGLETARY STREAM 251 

The following deposition by Mr. Jaques, the mill- 
wright, gives us an accurate description of the water- 
wheel of those days. He stated as follows: 

"measured the main water wheel and found it 20 ft. in dia- 
meter and about 6 ft. wide including the rims and the top of the 
wheel which is on a level with the top of the permanent flash boards 
of the Dam . . . Flume is in two sections. The larger part next 
below the Pond is 30 ft. 7 in. long and 5 ft. 8}4 in. wide inside and 
4 ft. high to the top of the flash boards measuring inside the flume. 
The lower section next to the wheel is 8 ft. long, same width as the 
first section and the bottom of it is 20 in. below the top of said 
flash boards. . . Gate hole for main wheel is in bottom of lower 
end of the lower section of the flume and is 5 ft. 2^ in. long and 
4^2 in. wide. The water is let on to the wheel 20 in. below the top 
of the wheel. The actual head under which the water operates 
upon the wheel with a full pond is 22 in. as the narrowest part of 
the gate hole is 2 in. below the bottom of the flume." 

The deposition of General Burbank is in part as follows: 

"I have occupied the Paper Mill which I formerly owned in 
Millbury up to about a week ago. I put what is called the Cylin- 
der machine into that Mill about eight years ago. I had then but 
two engines in the Mill. I had also a duster which was carried as 
it is now by a small Tub- Wheel. The Cylinder machine was carried 
as it is now by a breast wheel of the diameter of eleven feet. The 
two engines were carried also by the Maine wheel just as they are 
now with the same geering and the same pitch of water but there 
was no Apron. . . . Those two Engines continued in until about 
six years ago when I took them out and put in two new ones that 
are longer. The old engines were of two feet rolls and the new ones 
were of 30 inches rolls the diameter of the rolls the same. . . . 
About two years after that a Rag Cutter was put in which was 
carried by the same wheel as the Duster. A third engine was put 
in about the first of October, 1833. I tried to operate the three 
engines without an Apron to the wheel and found they would not 
operate. This was while I was preparing the Apron. I then put 
in the Apron and they operated well. The same head of water 
which would not carry the three Engines without the Apron carried 
them with full spead with the Apron. My opinion is that the 
Apron made one thirds difference in the power . . . .The pond has 
always been kept about full ever since previous to 1828, because I 
was able to supply it from a reservoir above ... .1 added a Dryer 
about a year ago . . . .The head and fall at the Mill was twenty 
feet." 

In 1834, Caleb Burbank became financially involved 
with his brother Elijah at Quinsigamond village, Wor- 



252 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

cester, and the Millbury business passed into the hands 
of Silas Goddard, who had been his superintendent. 
Later, the industry was carried on by Brierly and Co. 
who maintained a paper mill here until 1857. F. H. 
Richmond of Providence, R. I., next became owner of 
the privilege. In 1863, a company composed of Mowry 
A. and Smith Lapham bought the mill rights but after 
the death of Smith Lapham the business was continued 
under the name of Mowry A. Lapham. A mill was 
erected which was burned in 1876. In 1879, the present 
structure was erected. During the rebuilding of the mill 
a chimney one hundred and fifty feet high had been com- 
pleted and to celebrate the completion of the work an 
oyster supper was served to several at the top of the chim- 
ney. A short time afterward, however, the chimney 
pushed out at the base and the entire pile fell into the 
mill yard; fortunately, only one man was injured and he 
but slightly. Additions were made to the mill from time 
to time and Mr. Lapham continued a successful business 
in the manufacture of fine woolen goods. 

In 1897, Josiah B. Mayo, Thomas P.Curtis, and Edward 
J. Mayo bought the buildings and the water rights and, 
later in the year, the Mayo Woolen Co. purchased the 
property of these men and rebuilt the mill. Under the 
supervision of John R. Greenwood the remodelled mill 
started in operation in January, 1898. Improved ma- 
chinery has steadily been added to the equipment of the 
plant which has contributed substantially to the prosperity 
of the town. 

Oil Mill 

The water privilege next below the old paper mill of 

the Burbanks was first used in the manufacture of linseed 

oil and was situated where the store of W.E. Home stands. 

An indenture, given Mar. 1, 1770, explains the beginnings 

of this enterprise. It is as follows: 

"Abijah Burbank, clothier, and Jonathan Holman, Jonathan 
Waters, Andrew Eliot. Whereas the sd Abijah Burbank, &c, have 
erected in Sutton aforesaid on the land of the said Abijah Burbank 



INDUSTRIES ON SINGLETARY STREAM 253 

a Mill and Dam for the making of Linseed Oyl which Mill and 
Dam was erected at the joint lot of the said Abijah Burbank, &c, 
and they have agreed to carry on the Business of making Linseed 
Oyl at the Mill aforesd in equal parts. Now therefore these pres- 
ents witness that the sd Abijah Burbank in consideration that the 
sd Jonathan Holman, &c, have been at the charge and expense 
of building three-quarters of said Mill and Dam and in considera- 
tion of his partnership for carrying on the said Business he doth 
by these presents give and grant unto the said Jonathan his heirs 
& assigns forever one-fourth part of this Mill and Dam and the 
land on which they stand with the priviledge of Passing and repass- 
ing as may be necessary round about said Mill and Dam and privi- 
ledge of the Water in the upper dam so as not to damage the fulling 
mill below and to the said Jonathan Waters and Andrew Eliot 
same priviledges as to Holman." 

In a deed by which Elijah Holman transferred one- 
fourth part of this oil mill to Caleb Burbank, Apr. 28, 
1817, the stream is called "Millbrook River." The price 
paid, $250.00, gives us some idea of mill values in those days. 

Below the "Oyl" mill, but built previously to it, stood 
a Fulling Mill erected, about 1750, by John Wait who 
operated the mill in partnership with his son Nathaniel. 
In 1757, Nathaniel Wait sold his half of the property to 
John Hazeltine and, in 1759, John Wait sold the remainder 
to him. With the fulling mill there was a clothier's shop. 
The property is described as follows: "half the fulling 
Mill and half the shop thereon standing with half the 
Clothiers Tools vizt: half the shears half the Copers half 
the Press half the Press papers with every other thing 
belonging to the clothiers trade &c." The deed from 
the other Wait conveys the other half of the property. 
In 1761, John Hazeltine sold the "fulling mill dams and 
shops" to Abijah Burbank. This was before Burbank 
had started his paper mill. 

Probably the oil mill dam was torn away to give more 
head of water to the fulling mill pond next below it for, 
in 1825, Caleb Burbank sold to Braman and Benedict 
the right to twenty feet head of water on Mill Brook 
from Crooked Pond, when 

"water shall be raised to the top of an Iron pin which is in- 
serted into a rock lying in the 'by-wash' canal leading from the 



254 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

paper mill dam to the fulling mill pond and about four rods below 
the road above the top of which pin the water is never to be raised" 
by grantees . . . "also with the right to the Grantees their heirs 
and assigns, when necessary to drive their works, to hoist the gate 
at said Crooked Pond so as to let as much water run as shall be 
equivalent to carrying two engines in the Grantor's paper mill 
when the Grantor does not suffer so much to pass at his paper mill 
&c." $2500.00 was paid for land, buildings, priviledge. 



Mayo Mill No. 3 

John Waters and Simeon Waters were in the clothier's 
business here before Braman and Benedict built their 
mill. 

From a letter of Mr. Charles Munroe who lived 
opposite the paper mill from 1828 until 1832 we learn that 
"the Braman factory was next below the paper mill." 
At various times the mill has been operated by 
Jonathan A. Pope, Smith and Pratt, Emerson and 
Brierly, and J. M. Mason, & Co. After the death of Mr. 
Mason, John Rhodes took the mill, about 1872, and oper- 
ated it in the manufacture of cotton warp. Later, the 
machinery in the mill was sent south. June 4, 1904, the 
building and privilege was purchased by the Mayo 
Woolen Co. and it has since been known as Mayo Mill 
No. 3. The building was renovated and it has been 
used as a stock preparing mill for the other mills of the 
company. 

Powder Mill 

Below the fulling mill site was the old powder mill of 
Revolutionary days, operated at least part of the time 
by Asa Waters, senior. This building stood back from 
the road on the stream by the store of A. S. Winter and 
extended over what is now part of the W. W. Windle 
Co's pond. Abijah Burbank conveyed to the Colony 
of Massachusetts Bay the privilege of a powder mill at 
this place. Nov. 23, 1779, a committee, appointed by 
the General Court, consisting of Amos Singletary, Seth 




THE MAYO WOOLEN CO. MILL No 3 




THE MAYO WOOLEN CO. MILL No 4 



INDUSTRIES ON SINGLETARY STREAM 255 

Washburn, and Edward Davis, Esqrs., made sale of the 
powder mill "with all the Appurtenances & Priviledges 
thereto belonging" and gave a quit-claim deed to Samuel 
Waters. (At the time he offered ten dollars a pound for 
salt-petre.) March 11, 1782, he, in turn, sold the powder 
mill "together with all the out Buildings and property 
of the Stream of water and all other of the appurtenances 
& priviledges thereto belonging" to Abraham Waters 
for one hundred and twenty pounds. 

It has been stated that the building was blown up. 

On this powder mill site, or near it, Asa Waters main- 
tained some sort of works for, Feb. 18, 1788, for seven 
pounds, ten shillings, he secured from Abijah Burbank 
a "right to erect floom and take water out of Mill Brook 
between the Oyl mill and fulling Mill & to make a ditch 
from sd floom across Burbank's land to Waters' land." 

The W. W. Windle Co. 
The next privilege on this stream is that now held by 
the W. W. Windle Co. The earliest mill erected here was 
used for the manufacture of linseed oil. At one time, 
paper making of a coarse kind was done on the site. In 
1836, we have record of a building on the spot which was 
used as late as 1851 by Leland & Sabin for machine work 
in the manufacture of looms and other machinery. Later, 
Benchley & Jackson occupied the site. About 1854, a 
mill was erected which was operated by J. C. Howe & Co. 
For a long time afterward Nelson Walling occupied the 
mill in the manufacture of fancy cassimeres. After Mr. 
Waiting's death, and until the building was burned, 
another company operated the mill when it was known as 
the Iona Woolen Mill. In the spring of 1904, the privi- 
lege was purchased by William W. Windle who erected 
a new mill. A company was formed, known as the W. W. 
Windle Co., and in the fall of that year his business at 
West Millbury was removed to this location. Power is 
furnished by water, steam, and electricity. Three large 



256 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

storehouses stand in the rear of the main building. This 
company deals in wool, waste, and material for other 
fabrics. The mill is used for scouring, dusting, carboniz- 
ing, and otherwise fitting wool and waste for manufactur- 
ers' use and it is equipped with improved machinery for 
this purpose. 

In 1911, Mr. Windle visited England and other parts 
of Europe for the purpose of looking over similar estab- 
lishments and gaining new ideas of the business. By 
order of President Taft, through the State Department, 
he was furnished with documents which caused these 
places to open their doors freely to him. 

Mayo Mill, No. 4 

This privilege was first developed in 1825 by the 
Longley brothers who built a dam here and a small mill. 
In 1831, Waters and Goodell made broadcloth at this 
privilege. The next in possession were Hosea Crane 
and Horace Waters who under the firm name of " Crane 
and Waters" for many years manufactured hosiery and 
knit underwear. During the years following the Civil 
War this mill was one of the most successful in the entire 
region and became specially famous for its manufacture 
of men's ribbed blue woolen underwear which had an 
unusual reputation on the market, not only in this country 
but also abroad. 

In 1885, Osgood H. Waters, a son, and Royal Thayer, 
a son-in-law, of Horace Waters, formed a corporation and 
operated the mill, as successors to Crane and Waters. 

Later names in connection with this privilege were 
"The Koted Silk Co.," "The Portsmouth Mill," and 
1 ' The Worcester Knitting Mill. " The mill with its rights 
was bought by the Mayo Woolen Company, Feb. 20, 1912, 
and became Mayo Mill No. 4, thus making four mills 
owned by this company on Singletary stream. 

The location is one of the best in town. The mill-yard 
contains two acres of excellent land. In addition to the 



INDUSTRIES ON SINGLETARY STREAM 257 

improvements already made by the new occupants, still 
more are intended. The growth of the Mayo Woolen 
Co. is shown by the following figures: One year after 
it took possession of No. 1 mill, in 1898, the number 
employed was seventy, the production was one hundred 
seventy-five thousand yards of cloth, and the pay-roll 
of the company amounted to thirty-four thousand dollars. 
For the year 1912, in all the mills of the company, the 
number employed was two hundred twenty-five, the 
production was six hundred thousand yards of cloth, and 
the pay-roll amounted to one hundred twenty-five thou- 
sand dollars. The capital stock of the company is one 
hundred thousand dollars, and the officers are : President, 
Thomas P. Curtis; treasurer, Edward J. Mayo. 

Mr. John R. Greenwood is resident agent of all the 
company's mills. 

Revolutionary Armory 
Just in front of the dam at the stone mill of Edward F. 
Rice & Co. on Singletary stream, was situated the trip- 
hammer building connected with the armory of Asa 
Waters, senior, in Revolutionary days. Mr. George W. 
McCracken, at the age of eighty-seven, definitely located 
the old structure and stated that the timbers on the old 
trip-hammer shop were the largest that he ever saw in 
any building. Shortly before his death, Colonel Waters 
spoke of seeing, when young, ruins of other buildings still 
farther down the stream. The region about the stone- 
mill and the Crane & Waters privilege has changed in the 
location of dams and trenches since the existence of the 
old armory, where Asa and his brother Andrus established 
their early gun-works. The latter lost his life in the iron 
mines of Connecticut from which metal was procured for 
the works on Singletary stream. At the first armory 
in Millbury muskets were made for the soldiers of '76. 
Flint-lock guns made at this armory compared favorably 
with those produced at the same time in England.

258 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Edward F. Rice & Co. (sixth privilege) 

Edward F. Rice & Co. now occupy the last water-power 
site on the Singletary Stream. The property, together 
with the Crane & Waters privilege, was for many years 
in the hands of the Waters family. About 1827, an old 
building stood near-by in which Timothy Longley manu- 
factured hoes and scythes. The stone mill now owned 
by the Rice company was built by Elder Samuel Waters, 
in 1828, who installed machinery for the manufacture of 
cotton thread. In 1833, Jonathan A. Pope was agent at 
the mill. On this spot, in 1850, Russell Phelps & Co., of 
which Horatio Phelps, the old loom manufacturer of 
Worcester, was a silent partner, manufactured hosiery. 
The next one to operate here was Jonas A. Hovey. It 
was next occupied, in 1854, by Rhodes & Murray and 
later in the manufacture of cotton warp by John Rhodes, 
who carried on business here for many years. After his 
decease, the mill was operated for some years by his son- 
in-law, Henry M. Wilcox, who built the wooden addition 
to the stone mill. In the spring of 1892, the John Rhodes 
Warp Co. sold the property to the Holbrook Mfg. Co., 
which operated the mill for a year. In 1904, the Holbrook 
Mfg. Co. sold the privilege to the present owners, Edward 
F. Rice & Co., who manufacture cotton napkins. Busi- 
ness has so increased that now, instead of the twelve 
Jacquard looms with which the company started, one 
hundred are in operation. In 1911, the company intro- 
duced electricity in addition to water power. The goods 
made by this firm are of beautiful patterns designed by 
the firm and they find a ready market. Mr. Edward 
F. Rice is general manager. 

This old stone mill built by Elder Waters is almost as 
old as the town itself, but from all appearance seems 
capable of witnessing not only the first, but the bi-cen- 
tennial of Millbury.

THE W. W. WINDLE CO. MILL 



INDUSTRIES ON RAMSHORN STREAM 259 



CHAPTER XVII 
INDUSTRIES ON RAMSHORN STREAM 

The first water privilege on Ramshorn Stream is at an 
old dam over which a discontinued road once ran and is 
situated three-quarters of a mile from the pond. This is 
the third dam on the stream. The first, or upper, dam 
holds back the water at the pond and maintains a reservoir 
for equalizing the amount of water flowing in the stream 
and therefore also regulates the volume of water in the 
Blackstone River. Below this, at a distance of half a 
mile, is a coF vr dam that was erected to assist in reserving 
the rain fal. of the basin below the large pond. This 
third dam, site of the upper privilege, is not used at present 
but the water courses through it. At this place stood the 
old scythe shop of Follansbee and Chase, erected many 
years ago. The privilege next passed into the hands of 
Noah Grossman who carried on the same business and 
operated in addition trip-hammers, so that the place was 
known as "the upper trip-hammer shop." 

Associated with Mr. Follansbee at one time was Mr. 
Phelps. Later, at this location Perley Whipple erected 
a small building which he leased to Bigelow & Mann, 
for making stocking yarn, though Mr. Whipple also 
worked here as a scythe maker. The mill was burnt in 
1839. From an old deed we learn that Peter Trask and 
Jonathan Holman at one time were both interested here. 
It would now be considered a small affair. 

The second privilege is located where the Hoyle mill 
now stands. At this place a mill was erected by Mr. 
Whipple which was used by Amos Eddy and others as a 
grist-mill. The property later passed to Elisha Jacobs 



260 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

from whom it went to Simeon S. Waters, who was followed 
by H. D. Tripp. He was succeeded by Charles and 
William Lombard. Upon the retirement of William 
Lombard it continued to be used by his brother Charles 
until the Ramshorn dam gave way, in 1873. In 1877, 
the privilege was bought by Charles Buckley for Hoyle 
& Windle (Edwin Hoyle and Thomas Windle) who rebuilt 
the old mill, which had been badly wrecked, and used it 
for wool-scouring. After the retirement of Mr. Windle 
in 1879, Mr. Hoyle, in 1880, erected a brick mill and later 
a storehouse for his increasing business in wool and, in 
1884, another story in which yarn was made was added 
to the building. Mr. Hoyle manufactured hosiery for 
about two years, after which he began making mackin- 
toshes, but changed to the manufacture of woolen goods. 
Later, the mill was leased to E. E. Hoyle and Mr. Ram- 
seyer, who operated it for a short time. Wm. Lowenthal 
then occupied the place for about one year. The next 
occupants were Edwin Hoyle and Thomas Windle, manu- 
facturers of woolens, but this partnership was brief, Mr. 
Hoyle retiring in 1903 and Mr. Windle operating the mill 
until January, 1904, when it was partly destroyed by fire. 
Shortly afterward, the mill was rebuilt and Mr. Hoyle 
manufactured woolen yarns. In 1905, the mill was 
operated for a brief period by the Arconia Company in 
making worsteds. The next firm to operate here was the 
Millbury Mills Co., A. C. Neff, superintendent, a branch 
of the C. A. Root Co. of Uxbridge, who leased some looms, 
though the upper story of the mill was still run by Mr. 
Hoyle. Since his death, in 1910, the plant has been 
operated for the manufacture of woolen goods by his 
estate, under the direction of Charles F. Day, a son-in-law, 
who is superintendent and general manager. In 1912, 
the Millbury Mills Co. removed its operations to Millbury 
Center. 

The next privilege, the third, on this stream was the 
old scythe-shop of Amos Eddy. Here, Noah Crossman 



INDUSTRIES ON RAMSHORN STREAM 261 

operated "the lower trip-hammer shop." Capt. Joseph 
Griggs next occupied the place and operated a fulling-mill 
for leather and tanned sheepskins. Across the way he had 
a shop for stripping bindings for the tops of shoes. From 
Mr. Griggs the Eddy privilege passed to Bainbridge 
Morris who had a wood-working shop. Again it passed 
to the Griggs heirs and from them to Stephen A. Savary, 
who was a blacksmith. He built the present brick block, 
the lower story of which was used for blacksmith work 
and the upper story as a planing mill and for other wood- 
working machinery. During his proprietorship, the upper 
story was for a time operated by Warren Glover. On the 
death of Mr. Savary the privilege went into the hands of 
Henry Glover. The small shop opposite was for some 
years owned and occupied by Hiram Kenney for wood- 
work, especially in the manufacture of carts and wheels 
of superior merit. 

The fourth privilege is located on the southerly side 
of the road which runs from Bramanville to West Millbury 
where the Stream crosses the road. The beginning of this 
privilege is indicated as follows: 

"This indenture, made the Fifth day of June, 1812, by and 
between Jonathan Holman, Esq., and Elijah Holman, Yeoman, 
both of Sutton, in the county of Worcester, of the one part, and 
Stephen Blanchard, Carter Elliot, David Elliot and Asa Kenney, 
all of the same Sutton, Yeomen, of the other parts, witnesseth ,— 
that in consideration of acts and Covenants hereafter expressed and 
by the said (persons named above) do hereby give and grant unto 
said Stephen Blanchard, Carter Elliot, David Elliot and Asa Ken- 
ney, their heirs and assigns, the priviledge of making and continuing 
a Dam across the brook, on our lot, near our saw-mill, and to cut 
a Canal for the purpose of conveying water for working a mill . . . 
To have and to hold the same for the purpose aforesaid, on this 
condition— that is to say— they shall, in the course of the present 
year deliver a sufficient quantity of Black lead to paint the said 
Johathan Holman's house, properly ground and fitted for use, and 
each and every year shall pay to the said Jonathan and Elijah, 
seven dollars by the year, so long as they shall use the privilege 
aforesaid." 

Stephen Blanchard and the others above named prom- 
ised to comply with the conditions and signed accordingly. 



262 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

In 1828, Elijah Holman (Jonathan having died in 1814) 
transferred and assigned the above indenture to Joseph 
Griggs & Co. (Joseph Griggs, Benjamin Abbot and 
Benjamin Whitney). In 1830, Joseph Griggs & Co. 
conveyed all their interest in the above premises back to 
Elijah Holman. 

The building at this privilege was used by the Elliots 
for many years in grinding black lead or graphite which 
was brought here and ground. They were interested in 
what was called " Elliot's Worcester Coal Mine. " Thomas 
Blanchard had a machine for wood-working in a portion 
of the building and worked here on his eccentric lathe. 
In this place, too, he perfected one of the early machines 
for shearing cloth. Later, the building was owned by 
Abijah Gleason who continued the grinding of black lead 
which was put up in packages and was used for polishing 
stoves and also for painting the hulls of vessels. 

The Hon. Charles G. Washburn in his business history 
of Worcester, published in 1888, presented five different 
views of this historic old building, one of which appears 
in this work. The place next passed into the hands of 
Buckley W. Snow and from him to his son, Birney W., 
who manufactured hubs and spokes. In 1873, the place 
was bought by James A. Dike, who turned chisel-handles. 
In 1888, Mr. Dike sold the privilege to Henry W. Glover, 
the present owner who manufactures wooden handles for 
edge tools. 

The old building was used until 1889 when it was torn 
down to make way for a larger one. In 1900, this latter 
structure was destroyed by fire and soon afterward the 
present mill, two and a half stories in height, was erected 
on the old site. Nearby a storehouse has also been 
erected. 

The fifth privilege was owned in 1744 by Nathaniel 
Waters, the first settler on the farm now occupied by 
Charles F. Soule. Mr. Waters deeded as follows: "A 
certain brook or stream commonly called Rams Horn 




THE HOYLE MILL 




THE MANUFACTURERS WOOL STOCK COMPANY 



INDUSTRIES ON RAMSHORN STREAM 263 

Brook, with yard room and all other privileges necessary 
for a Saw-mill or mills on the said brook or stream." 
This was granted to Solomon Holman "for twenty-six 
pounds lawful money." Previous to 1800, Jonathan 
Holman, a son of Solomon, in addition to a saw-mill had 
here a linseed oil mill. 

Up to the time of the breaking away of the Ramshorn 
dam in 1873, below these mills extensive tanning and 
currying works stood. Among the earliest tanners was 
Joseph Waters. Soon after 1800, a stock company was 
formed, composed of Benjamin Abbot, Benjamin Whit- 
ney, Lieut. John Jacobs, Colonel Fay, and other Millbury 
(Sutton) people. Some of these withdrew, and a company 
was formed, known as Griggs, Abbot, & Whitney. Later, 
Capt. Joseph Griggs carried on the industry. Capt. 
Amasa Wood was at one time interested here and later 
the place came into the hands of Salem Griggs, a nephew, 
with whom David Marble was at one time associated in 
the currying part of the industry. These tanning and 
currying works were destroyed, in 1873, by the Ramshorn 
disaster. 

In 1879, Warren Glover secured a lease of the place for 
three years. About 1880, Thomas Windle bought the 
privilege, including the old saw-mill and the ruins of the 
tannery, and, immediately after the expiration of Mr. 
Glover's lease, he erected a mill for wool-scouring and 
later built an addition for the manufacture of cloth-folding 
machines, but after a year or two this business, which 
was carried on by J. E. Windle, was removed to Wor- 
cester. The mill was afterward nearly destroyed by fire, 
but it was soon rebuilt. The wool-scouring business was 
continued by Thomas Windle under the name of the Mill- 
bury Scouring Co. In June, 1898, the mill was totally 
destroyed by fire, but a new one was soon built on the site. 

In the same year Thomas Windle leased his mill to his 
sons, W. W. and A. D. Windle. After the dissolution of 
this partnership, William W. Windle took one part of 



264 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

the mill and A. D. Windle the other. In 1904, W. W. 
Windle removed his business to Bramanville and A. D. 
Windle occupied the mill until it was again burnt in 1905. 
Soon a small mill was built on the site and he continued 
the industry under the name of the Millbury Scouring Co. 
In 1911, A. D. Windle became connected with the Manu- 
facturers Wool Stock Co., of Sutton, which took over his 
business at West Millbury. Upon the destruction of the 
Sutton Mill by fire the same year, the business was 
removed from Sutton to this location, a new office was 
built, and some additions were made to the mill which 
had been previously rebuilt. The company carried on a 
considerable business in wool-scouring and carbonizing 
and also dealt in wool and wool waste. Electric power 
was installed in addition to water power and improved 
machinery was introduced. The company scoured about 
three million pounds of wool a year. The officers were: 
Arthur D. Windle, president and general manager; Henry 
0. Sutcliffe, treasurer; Harry W. Thomson, clerk. In 
1914, Mr. Sutcliffe withdrew from the company and the 
name was changed again to the "Millbury Scouring Co." 
The sixth privilege on this stream was in early times 
used as a scythe shop by Noah Crossman. About 1873, 
John G. Wood bought the water rights and rebuilt the 
dam which had been nearly destroyed by the Ramshorn 
disaster. He removed hither the West Congregational 
Church building which he had bought and to it was added 
the Union Hall building of West Millbury. These were 
converted into a cotton factory and were so used until 
1876, when the mill was burnt. Some time later, John 
S. Rich purchased the privilege and erected a grist and 
shingle mill. Afterwards, he built a shoddy mill which 
he still operates, doing a steady and lucrative business. 



INDUSTRIES ON THE BLACKSTONE RIVER 2G5 



CHAPTER XVIII 
INDUSTRIES ON THE BLACKSTONE RIVER 

Millbury lies wholly within the water-shed of the 
Blackstone and the river has so greatly affected its indus- 
tries and prosperity that we quote the following brief 
description: 

"Investigation by engineering shows that it is the busiest river 
in the United States, and probably the busiest in the world. The 
result of a recent investigation by experts, according to the 
"Technical World Magazine," shows that: — 

"The hardest working river, the one most thoroughly har- 
nessed to the mill wheels of labor in the United States, probably 
the busiest in the world, is the Blackstone. It is not a large river 
either. Its drainage area is only about 458 square miles, and in 
its power producing section it is only forty three miles long — a 
very Tom Thumb of a river as rivers go in America. 

"Yet the doughty little stream produces twenty-three thou- 
sand horse-power, fifty for every square mile of its drainage area. 
If you will figure out this amount of horse-power in terms of coal, 
you will find that the busy little stream represents a capitaliza- 
tion of about twenty-five million dollars. . . .Almost a hundred 
mills, catching with their whirling turbines its water almost from 
the very source line its banks and grow in size and importance till 
in Woonsocket and in Pawtucket, R. I., you have some of the 
largest mills of their kind in the country." 

Burling Mills 
The first, or upper, privilege on the Blackstone River 
is located a few rods below the Greenwood Street bridge 
and was formerly occupied by the Burling Mills (where 
cloth was put through the process of burling). In 1850, 
Michael Coogan built a small mill on this site and operated 
it alone at first, but later Henry H. Chamberlain & Co., 
of Worcester, became interested in the mill with him. 



266 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

William H. Harrington & Co. next operated the mill 
which had been used chiefly in the manufacture of woolen 
goods. When the electric railway from Worcester to 
Millbury (now the Bramanville line of the Worcester 
Consolidated Street Railway Co.) was built, this privi- 
lege was purchased and a power station and car barn were 
erected. The water, however, was only used to condense 
the steam. When power was taken elsewhere the station 
was closed. 

The second privilege on the Blackstone river was de- 
veloped and put to use by Asa Waters, Junior. Before 
1841 he had here located flannel mills which he operated 
until their destruction by fire. The map of 1851 shows the 
three buildings of the Stillwater Mill which Col. Asa H. 
Waters had then built on the west end of the mill lot, that 
is, on the east side of the present Waters street where it 
crosses the river. The mill was described as the finest in 
the town. In 1868 this, too, was burned and was not 
rebuilt. A canal carried water from the dam to a point 
near the present location of the Providence and Worcester 
R. R. station, following what is now River Street on which 
remains of the embankment can still be seen along the 
west side of the street. In 1834, Allen and Rice occupied 
a two-story building at the lower end of this canal for the 
manufacture of sash and blinds. Allen and Coombs 
succeeded them in the same business. The successors of 
the latter firm, J. Coombs & Co., removed about 1847 
to the east or upper end of the Stillwater Mill lot. Later 
(1852), T. S. Fullam, C. D. Morse, E. M. Park, and E. A. 
Small formed a partnership, under the firm name of 
Fullam, Morse, & Co., to continue the business. The 
same year Mr. Small withdrew and the next year Mr. 
Fullam sold his interest to Horace Armsby. The firm 
then became Armsby & Morse. About 1856, Mr. Park 
left the company. In 1871, Mr. Morse purchased the 
interest of Mr. Armsby and the concern took the name 
of C. D. Morse & Co. and so continued until the death 




C. D. MORSE & CO. SHOP. 1871 




THE FELTERS - COMPANY WORKS 



INDUSTRIES ON THE BLACKSTONE RIVER 267 

of Mr. Morse, in 1895. For years the company did an 
extensive business in the manufacture of sash and blinds, 
the product going to all parts of the country. Just before 
the death of Mr. Morse, street cars were manufactured, 
but this venture was not of long duration. After the close 
of the long and useful career of Charles D. Morse, the 
business was conducted under the management of his 
son, Charles H. Morse, until February, 1898, when the 
plant was practically destroyed by fire. After the fire 
the heirs built a substantial brick mill. 

In 1898, the property and rights to the water privilege 
were sold to H. L. Bowden, a member of the firm of H. L. 
Bowden & Co., and a company, known as "The Bowden 
Felting Mills Company," with a capital of fifty thousand 
dollars, was incorporated under the laws of Massachusetts. 
In 1904, the officers of the company were: John R. 
Farnum, president, and Herbert L. Bowden, treasurer. 
For ten years Henry 0. SutclifTe was superintendent. At 
first the company manufactured boot felt, but later it 
produced felt for hats. March 4, 1910, "The Bowden 
Felting Mills Co." was merged with others into "The 
Felters Co. " having a capital of two million dollars, fully 
paid in. The officers were: F. H. Brown, president, 
F. P. Bowden, vice president, H. L. Bowden, treasurer, 
F. Dolge, secretary and assistant treasurer. Many 
improvements and additions have been made about the 
plant. The Felters Company also owns and operates 
mills at Middleville, N. Y., and at Leicestershire, N. Y. 
Since the formation of the Felters Company, the output 
of the Millbury plant has been increased thirty-three 
per cent. This company makes all kinds of felt, chiefly 
of the higher grades. The total value of the product 
of the three mills operated by the company for a year is 
from one million and a half to two million dollars. Besides 
water, six boilers are used to generate power and recently 
one of the finest chimneys in town has been erected. 



268 history of millbury 

Millbury Machine Comfany 
Machine Work and General Repairing 

The Millbury Machine Company was owned and oper- 
ated by C. D. Morse and E. J. Humphries for thirty years. 
In 1907, shortly before the death of E. J. Humphries, this 
business was purchased from him by Warren B. Harris, 
who is a native of Millbury and a graduate of the Worces- 
ter Polytechnic Institute. 

The plant is situated just west of the works of the Felters 
Co., from which its power is obtained, in a two-story build- 
ing ninety feet long and forty feet wide with an ell forty 
feet long and thirty feet wide. The lower floor is fitted 
with machines for general machine work and contains a 
forge shop with two forges for oxy-acetylene welding, and 
cutting. The upper floor is used for pattern making. 
The company manufactures "The Enterprise Pulley 
Mortiser," "The Pioneer Moulding Sander" and "The 
Enterprise Pocket Cutter," an invention of the proprietor 
which has met with a good reception among sash manu- 
facturers. 

In December, 1911, the building was partially destroyed 
by fire, but it was soon rebuilt and again put in operation. 

In 1914, the business of Henry F. Rice of Sutton for the 
manufacture of dobbey chains was consolidated with the 
work of the Millbury Machine Company and it has since 
that time greatly increased. 

The original industry on the Blackstone River (then 
called "Half-way River") was an iron refinery located 
just above the South Main Street bridge on the bank of 
the river, although there was neither bridge nor road there 
at the time. Dec. 3," 1740, Benjamin Gowing sold to 
Perez Rice, Francis Dudley, Samuel Barton, Samuel 
Chase, and Benjamin Morse, for one hundred pounds, 
five-sixths (presumably each taking a sixth) of five acres 
"upon the North side of Half-way River adjoining home- 
stead, privilege of adjoining river for building Dams and 



INDUSTRIES ON THE BLACKSTONE RIVER 269 

following (flowing) as they shall see fit. " That a refinery 
was erected we learn from deeds of transfer dated two 
years later. That the concern was a growing one we infer 
from the price of one-sixth of the refinery which Benjamin 
Gowing received in 1744 when he sold his interest to John 
Haseltine for two hundred pounds. That the refinery 
was an iron refinery we learn from a sale made in 1744 
by John Hazeltine to Samuel Chase of two-sixths part of 
"iron works." That the refinery was on the tract of 
land later occupied by the armory is confirmed by a note 
made by the late Colonel Waters on the copy of a deed 
which was in his possession. 

When one stands at the north end of the South Main 
Street bridge and looks westward, it is now difficult to 
realize that the present deserted tangle of bushes and old 
foundations was the scene of the most important of 
Millbury's early industries and for many years the busiest 
part of the town. Elijah Waters and his younger brother, 
Asa, Jr., for several years previous to the erection of the 
1808 Armory, had blacksmith and scythe shops beside the 
river immediately west of South Main Street. Here were 
forges, trip hammers, rolling and slitting mills, a saw and 
mill iron factory and a steel furnace. They built a 
dam where ledges of rock on both sides of the stream 
offered natural abutments for the structure at the fall of 
water immediately below the railroad bridge. The elder 
brother, after a long illness, died in 1814 and the surviving 
brother, Asa, continued and enlarged the business. 

The lines of the old Armory driveway can be seen 
running out at right angles from the street, the surface 
of the road broken at places where the covering of former 
raceways have dropped in. It bisected a narrow area 
about four hundred feet long, bounded on its south side 
by the river and enclosed on its north side by walls and 
embankments supporting a long and narrow mill pond, 
now empty, from which water was drawn to drive the 
two or more wheels which furnished power for the armory 



270 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

and adjacent shops. At one time or another between the 
river and the Armory drive stood a forging shop built of 
stone, a foundry, a boiler house, an office and other build- 
ings. The buildings on the opposite side of the driveway, 
between it and the mill pond, made, altogether, a block 
about three hundred feet long and from thirty to ninety 
feet wide. Some of the buildings were built of stone and 
cement. The original armory, built of brick, formed the 
west end of this line of buildings. Its pit for wheel and 
trip hammers can still be identified. West of the armory 
was sufficient space where the guns and pistols were tested 
by firing them, before acceptance by the government 
officials sent at intervals to Millbury for that duty. 

The increased prosperity of the Armory, and consequent- 
ly of Armory Village, dates from the first contract with 
the national government to furnish fire arms for the army, 
made in 1808 to cover a period of five years and renewed 
some six times for like periods, the last terminating in 
1845. During times of financial distress which were 
frequent in New England during the first half of the last 
century, this work for the government furnished steady 
and lucrative employment for a little body of highly 
skilled gun makers, under the energetic management of 
the second Asa Waters and of his son, Col. Asa H. Waters, 
who after the former's death became senior partner of the 
firm of A. H. Waters & Co. 

Adjacent to the armory proper, to the east, Hale and 
Whipple had a shop for the manufacture of scythes (1851, 
C. Hale & Son) and directly on the street T. H. Witherby 
& Co., (1851) had a manufactory of tools. 

In 1862, a portion of the armory buildings was rented 
to Col. J. D. Greene who manufactured breech-loading 
rifles for the Russian government. At the outbreak of 
the Civil War, in 1861, Col. A. H. Waters was asked to 
again manufacture guns, but since much of the machinery 
had been sold, Colonel Waters declined the request, al- 
though he took contracts for supplying the government 



INDUSTRIES ON THE BLACKSTONE RIVER 271 

with ram-rods and bayonets which he made in large 
quantities. 

Various industries were later carried on in these old 
armory buildings. At one time cotton machinery was 
manufactured here. Thompson, Skinner & Co. after- 
ward occupied the building. Later on, Harrington & 
Heald here made tools and wrenches. In 1865, Colonel 
Waters, organized a company and operated the "Atlanta" 
mill at the old armory privilege. In 1871 and the follow- 
ing years, Wm. H. Harrington operated the mill in the 
manufacture of satinets. 

On the eastern side of South Main Street the old grist- 
mill of Benjamin Gowing was located beside the river. 
This was also the site of the old spindle factory of Samuel 
Brown. On the site, shoe nails were once made. 

In 1847, on this site, opposite the old armory, Colonel 
Waters erected a mill which was called the Millbury 
Cotton Mill. This was operated by the firm of Waters, 
Harrington, and Flagg after the close of the Civil War. 
In 1870, Colonel Waters retired from the firm and Flagg 
and Harrington continued to operate the mill. They 
were succeeded by J. H. Mason & Co., a Providence firm, 
that carried on an extensive business until 1898. Suc- 
ceeding this firm, the United States Linen Co. occupied 
the site until 1907. In 1908 the National Crash Manu- 
facturing Company was incorporated and manufactured 
linen goods here. The company perfected a process for 
the successful manufacture of linen cloth from flax noils. 
Mr. S. Edgar Benjamin was superintendent from the time 
of the organization of the corporation until 1914 when Mr. 
Anthony Dixon, Jr., succeeded him. 

Cordis Mills. Privilege No. 5 

The following abstract is believed to include the prop- 
erty which is now that of the Cordis Mill privilege as 
well as land at the old armory privilege. 



272 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Asa Waters to Asa Waters, Jr., — Asa Waters, of Sutton, 
Gentleman, deeded to Asa Waters Jr., three parcels of land — 

"Situate lying in the easterly part of the second parish of Sut- 
ton, aforesaid — The first contains twenty-one acres one quarter 
and thirty-two rods, be the same more or less, bounded as followeth, 
viz. — beginning at the southernmost corner, it being a stake and 
stones at the northerly side of the road leading from said Asa 
Water's to Grafton .... Always reserving a privilege in a lane as 
it is now found." The second piece, containing eight acres and 
sixteen rods, lay bounded, — "beginning at a northerly corner, it 
being a heap of stones by said road, thence extending south thirty 
degrees east fourteen rods by said Asa Waters, Jr., land to stones, 
thence south thirty-one degrees east twenty nine and a half rods 
to stones, thence West thirty degrees south thirty-one rods by 
Elijah Waters land to stones by the easterly bank of the Blackstone 
River, thence West fifteen degrees south, crossing said river, six 
and a fourth rods to a heap of stones, thence north one degree east 
twenty and a half rods by my own land to stones, thence north 
seventeen degrees west eight rods to a heap of stones by said road, 
thence northeasterly by said road crossing first mentioned." "The 
third and last is a tract or piece of wood-land five acres and twelve 
rods I this day bought of Stephen March, and nine acres and three- 
quarters I bought of Edmund Andrews the twenty-sixth day of 
June, A. D. 1788, bounded as follows: beginning at the easterly 
corner of the five acre and twelve rod lot I bought of Stephen 
March. This piece partially bounded by land of John Waters." 
(See Wor. Co. Deeds, Bk. 186, pp. 43-45.) 

The Cordis property embraces land on which there was 
once a nail factory, a rolling and a slitting mill for iron 
work. 

This privilege is the site of the Goodell broadcloth 
manufactory. On the land of the company near the old 
county bridge and the old burial-place on Providence 
Street, still stands one of the first school-houses used in 
Armory Village. Also, on the company's land, in the 
rear of the office there is still to be seen an old store-house 
of the once important Blackstone canal, although the 
building is probably not on its original location. The 
Cordis Mills began the manufacture of cotton goods here 
April 1, 1844, when the present company was incor- 
porated. In 1863, J. S. Wright operated the mill, 
although the place was still commonly known as the 



INDUSTRIES ON THE BLACKSTONE RIVER 273 

Cordis Mills. The company was composed of John S., 
Eben, and John H. Wright. July 1, 1875, the company 
was again changed to the Cordis Mills, having been 
chartered June 25 of that year. The company manu- 
factured ticking and operated seven thousand, four hun- 
dred eighty-eight spindles. In 1902, this company intro- 
duced the first automatic loom ever operated in town and 
since then it has replaced the ordinary looms with these. 
Steam and water power were used until 1915 when elec- 
tricity was introduced. All the dyeing and finishing is 
done in the mill. The main mill is one hundred eighty- 
five feet long, thirty-eight feet wide, and four stories in 
height. Mill No. 2 is one hundred twenty-five feet long, 
forty-two feet wide, and two stories high. The picking 
house is sixty-eight feet long, forty-eight feet wide and 
two stories high. The dye-house is seventy-two feet long 
and fifty-eight feet wide. All goods produced by this 
company are sold by Briggs, Fabyan & Co., Boston, New 
York, and Chicago. 

The officers of the company are: President, Charles 
H. Fiske, Boston; treasurer, F. W. Fabyan, Boston; 
resident agent, Frederick W. Moore, Millbury. Since the 
Cordis mills have been established in town, the following 
agents have been in charge: John E. Bacon, B. B. 
Howard, William H. Whiting, B. B. Howard (a second 
time), John Gegenheimer, and Frederick W. Moore. 

A part of the land owned by this company was secured 
from the late Clough R. Miles and a portion of the land 
thus acquired was deeded to the Boston & Albany Rail- 
road on condition that the railroad maintain a station on 
the property, but upon its failure to do this the land shall 
revert to the Cordis Company. In 1846, when a new 
schoolhouse in district No. 6 was built in Armory Village, 
the old one (mentioned in a deed dated Sept. 21, 1813), 
was sold to the Cordis Company two years after the 
company settled here and moved to the company's land. 
In 1914, the Cordis Company built a new mill to the 



18 



274 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

south of the other buildings,in which automatic looms were 
set up, so that the production of the plant was doubled. 

Consolidated Power Station 

This manufacturing privilege is the sixth in town on 
the Blackstone River. A dam and mill here were begun 
in 1828 and finished in 1830 by Shepard & Ridgeway. 
After them Edward W. Ridgeway operated the mill under 
his own and other names until 1837. Trowbridge & Co. 
were afterward located here. Later companies have been 
Park & Wright, and Bellows, Baker & Co. William 
Crompton, the loom inventor, operated this mill for some 
time, making broadcloth, and it was while engaged here 
that he was at work perfecting the world-famous Cromp- 
ton Loom. Near this privilege he also had a foundry 
and a loom manufactory. In 1847, he advertised as 
follows: "Being about to make woolen and cotton goods 
entirely, will sell out tools used in the manufacture of 
machinery at Millbury, the 22nd of April, 1848. " This 
included eight large engines. At the time Mr. Crompton 
was here, sixty horse-power is said to have been developed. 
The machine shop, foundry, and blacksmith shop were to 
be let by applying to the agent of the Cordis Company. 
Following William Crompton, came David F. Wood and 
after him Merriam, Simpson and Rays. Mr. Merriam 
and the Rays withdrew, and the factory was owned and 
operated for a number of years by Capt. Peter Simpson 
in the manufacture of satinets. This mill was sold in 
1890, by the Millbury National Bank, to Mr. Capen, who 
sold in turn to Charles T. Aldrich. Mr. Aldrich operated 
the mill for several years, doing a prosperous business 
on a low-priced grade of goods but, in 1897, a fire occurred 
that stopped all operations. 

Early in 1898 the Blackstone Valley Street Railway 
came into possession of the property. It is now used as 
a power station for the Worcester Consolidated Street 
Railway Co. The plant has been rebuilt and has been 




ssra 



INDUSTRIES ON THE BLACKSTONE RIVER 275 

thoroughly equipped for generating electricity by steam 
power, so that well-nigh the entire system of the Worcester 
Consolidated Street Railway Co. receives its power from 
this station. 

Situated on the Blackstone river, but receiving its 
power from a brook that is tributary to the river, stands 
the Rice saw-mill which has been operated extensively 
in times past. 



276 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 



CHAPTER XIX 

INDUSTRIES ON DOROTHY STREAM 

Buck Brothers 

The first water privilege on Dorothy Stream is occupied 
by the Buck Brothers' works. This privilege has three 
ponds connected with it, viz. — Dorothy, and two others, 
one formed in 1868. On this site some years ago, Deacon 
T. H. Witherby ground chisels made at his other works. 
Skates were made here afterward. Later, tools were 
manufactured by Mr. Williams. Following him, Dennis 
Fisher made cut-nippers. Charles Hale succeeded him 
in the same line of work. Harrington & Heald followed 
on tool-work. Later A. H. Waters used the place in 
connection with his business. 

Buck Brothers, manufacturers of chisels, gouges, plane 
irons, machinists' punches, cold chisels, nail sets, reamers, 
and countersinks, commenced business in Worcester, 
in 1853. Although started in a small way, the business 
gradually increased under the practical and skilful 
management of the Buck Brothers and, in the summer 
of 1864, it was removed to Millbury at this mill privilege, 
then owned by Dennis Fisher and known as the Andrus 
March privilege. A Buck's head is the trade mark. In 
1873 Charles Buck withdrew from the firm, (see Chap, xx.) 

The product of these works has become well-known, 
not only in the United States but also abroad, for the 
excellent quality of the edge-tools produced. Wherever 
the product of these works has been exhibited in compe- 
tition with similar products the edge-tools from these 
works have in every instance secured the first prize for 



INDUSTRIES ON DOROTHY STREAM 277 

quality and style. The leading exhibitions in which 
displays have been made are the Centennial Exhibition 
at Philadelphia, in 1876; the World's Columbian Exposi- 
tion at Chicago, in 1893; and the Buffalo Exposition, in 
1901. 

Gold medals were received from the Centennial and the 
Chicago Expositions, and a diploma from the one at 
Buffalo. 

In 1878, Richard Buck added to the plant a handsome 
faced-brick structure, two stories high, one hundred 
twenty feet long, and thirty-five feet wide. He also 
erected, for the accommodation of his employees, twenty 
tenement houses, all so arranged as to form an attractive 
hamlet, known as "Buck's Village." 

After Mr. Richard Buck died, Jan. 12, 1893, the busi- 
ness was continued by the sons-in-law, E. M. Wood and 
William L. Proctor, and it was purchased by them in 
1894. In 1905, Mr. Proctor purchased Mr. Wood's 
interest, thus gaining possession of the entire plant. 
This is one of the oldest industries owned by a resident 
citizen and it is one of the leading manufacturing plants 
in the town. Mr. Proctor's sons, Richard W. Proctor 
and Harold B. Proctor, have taken an active part in the 
management of the business. Fifty persons are employed. 

In 1913, a warehouse and a storehouse, with modern 

equipment, were added to the establishment. In addition 

to a commodious room for handling the edge-tools the 

warehouse contained a general and a private office. To 

the rear of the warehouse, a storehouse, forty feet square, 

has been built in which goods are stored, ready for 

shipment. 

Molt Brothers 

The second privilege on Dorothy Brook was originally 
utilized by Chester Hastings on wood-work. After him 
H. H. Ward operated a grist-mill here. It then passed 
into the hands of G. C. Molt, the patentee of the cele- 
brated indigo blue dye. Later, Jerome Marble, of 



278 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Worcester, became a partner with Mr. Molt and, after 
Mr. Marble's retirement, L. L. Whitney became Mr. 
Molt's partner. After the death of Mr. G. C. Molt, 
Mr. Whitney and the sons of Mr. Molt constituted the 
firm. In 1896, L. L. Whitney retired, and the business 
was continued by A. C, Herman J., and William Molt. 
The Molt Brothers also did work in scouring, carding, 
picking and dyeing wool. 

Formerly at this location, Dr. Heywood of Worcester 
and the Waits of Millbury maintained a grindstone ready 
to operate in order to hold their rights in the water 
privilege. 

Benjamin 0. Paine 

Originally a saw-mill occupied the third privilege on 
this stream. On this location at an early date Wilcox 
& Tuft made excelsior for mattresses. Afterward a 
grist-mill was maintained by Mr. Goodell, and after him 
by Mr. Marble. Later Jabez Ellis used the building as 
a carpenter-shop. After him, it was occupied by James 
E. Taylor, agent for the Ohio Mowing-Machine Co., 
who assembled the parts of mowing machines here. The 
privilege was later used by Peter Simpson as a flock-mill 
and after his occupancy W. A. Farnsworth used the 
building for carding and scouring wool, and for picking 
shoddy. The building was later destroyed by fire, and 
the dam was washed away. Nov. 10, 1905, Benjamin 
0. Paine, who was formerly located at Bramanville, 
bought the privilege, rebuilt the dam, moved a large 
storehouse on the site of the old mill, and equipped the 
place for the manufacture of edge tools. He also installed 
a steam plant to supplement the water power, which failed 
occasionally in dry seasons. In 1912, electricity took 
the place of steam.

CHAPTER XX 
INDUSTRIES NOT AT A WATER PRIVILEGE 

Wire Making 

Charles G. Washburn, in his work entitled "Manufac- 
turing and Mechanical Industries of Worcester," states 
that, in 1831, Ichabod Washburn whose inventions have 
revolutionized the manufacture of wire products, began 
the manufacture of wire in an old woolen factory at North- 
ville, Worcester. In company with Mr. Washburn at 
that time was Benjamin Goddard. It has been ascer- 
tained, however, that previous to this, on a road leading 
from the Old Common to Auburn and in a blacksmith 
shop, then belonging to Elias Richardson, Ichabod Wash- 
burn experimented in wire making and it was no doubt 
his first attempt in this line of manufacture. The foun- 
dation outline of this old shop can be seen today on the 
right hand side of the road leading from the Old Common 
to Auburn, near the Auburn line. From Ichabod Wash- 
burn himself we learn the process that was first used and 
the improvement that he made. The work was previously 
done by using self-acting pincers, drawing out about a 
foot of wire, then passing back and drawing another foot. 
With this crude machine a man could draw about fifty 
pounds of wire in a day. In place of this process, Mr. 
Washburn substituted a wire-block which was used by 
drawing a coarse wire through a steel plate, having a hole 
with less diameter than that of the rod, thus stretching 
the wire. We are unable to learn the exact nature of 
Mr. Washburn's experiments at the old smithy, but the 
work put forth, along with that of many other early toilers, 



280 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

stimulated efforts that resulted in improved processes of 
manufacture. Thus we may say that in Millbury began 
that development in the process of wire-making which 
has resulted in the development of the American Steel 
and Wire Corporation, founded by Mr. Washburn, and 
the greatest in the world. 

Hand Looms 

One industry, long past away, that had its day in 
Millbury was carpet making on the old hand-looms. In 
1832, Francis McCracken, father of George W. 
McCracken, operated eight of these hand-looms in the old 
building first used as a house of worship in the North 
Parish of Sutton, after its removal to make way for a more 
imposing structure. These looms were about six feet 
square and were heavily constructed. Since the Old 
Common was not a place devoted to much business, Mr. 
McCracken must have had a monopoly in noise with the 
clattering and thundering of these giant looms of early 
days. One of the old machines ready for operation, 
though probably not one of those used in Millbury, may 
be seen at the museum of the Worcester Society of 
Antiquity. 

When broadcloth was being manufactured in Millbury, 
and when machines were installed in some of the mills 
for its production, Mr. McCracken was employed in 
setting up the machinery. 

Potash 
An early industry in Millbury was potash making. 
England then offered a good market for the commodity 
and the early settlers had plenty of material for furnishing 
the product. On the farm now owned by G. Burton 
Stowe, at West Millbury, the site of one of the old potash 
works can still be seen. The place is located on the shore 
of Ramshorn Pond, once a farm originally settled by 
Stephen Small. 



INDUSTRIES NOT AT A WATER PRIVILEGE 281 

On the farm formerly occupied by Rufus Carter at the 
northern end of the Old Common, potash was formerly 
made. At the corner of Elmwood and Beach Streets 
there are still evidences of other potash works and the 
grass grows greener where the potash was once left on 
the ground. In fact, it was not an uncommon task for 
the early New England farmers to spend part of the year 
in the manufacture of this product both for home use and 
for shipping away for it was very remunerative at that 
time. 

Tobacco Raising 

An attempt at tobacco raising was made by John 
Hovey on the plot of meadow land north of West Main 
street and extending from the residence of Henry F. 
Hobart to the Blackstone River. Tobacco was success- 
fully raised by Mr. Hovey on the Waters farm, dried in 
a barn now standing on Waters Street, near Grove, and 
made into cigars in the Arcade building. 

Brass Works 
When Thomas Blanchard was busy an his shop at 
West Millbury, Asa Kenney had a small brass foundry 
opposite, in which, years before, he had started the first 
brass foundry in central Massachusetts. After the brass 
foundry of Asa Kenney had closed up, Hiram, his son, 
erected a small building, and developed quite an industry 
in brass work, supplying gun-shops and other manufac- 
tories. He afterward closed out the work in brass and 
engaged in cabinet making and wood-work. 

Currying 
At West Millbury, in 1854, and for some years later, 
T. W. Childs and also John G. Wood were engaged in the 
currying business. 

Tile Making 
In the West Village there were formerly two brick 
yards, both of which are now discontinued. One of these 



282 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

stood on the road which runs toward the house of Patrick 
McGrath and, in addition to brick of the common size, 
the old-time tiles such as were used by our fathers for the 
flooring and for the side-walls of fire-places were made. 
Two of these old tiles, which are in the possession of John 
C. Crane, measure seven and one-half inches square and 
two inches thick. They are in a good state of preserva- 
tion and constitute a reminder of days long since past. 
An immense brick, equal in size to four common ones, 
was taken from an old house at West Millbury and was 
doubtless made at this yard. 

Carriage Making 
Among the former industries of the town, was the 
carriage manufactory of S. R. Parker & Co., in which for 
a time a considerable business was done. The Parker 
building, now owned by The Millbury Mills Company, 
was erected about 1858. The Parkers also had a black- 
smith shop connected for their iron work. During 1888, 
nearly one hundred carriages and wagons of superior 
workmanship were made here, and many of these are 
still in use. The name of "Parker" on a carriage was a 
guarantee of its strength and durability. 

Shuttle-eyes and Thread-compressors 
At his home on the road running from the Old Common 
to Tainter Hill, Moses D. Garfield, from 1864 until his 
death, manufactured the shuttle-eye which he invented, 
having a monopoly in its production. To one who has 
witnessed Mr. Garfield at his labor and has seen him 
preparing the substance and baking the product, it seemed 
marvelous that such a small thing should require such 
painstaking care and judgment in its production. 

For many years, in addition to the manufacture of 
shuttle-eyes, Mr. Garfield made, also, thread-compressers 
of the same material that he used in the manufacture of 
shuttle-eyes. When finished, these rival steel in hardness 



INDUSTRIES NOT AT A WATER PRIVILEGE 283 

and smoothness. Great accuracy is required in making 
the holes in these compressers since the sizes vary only 
one-thousandth of an inch. Not only in this country 
are these used but they have found their way abroad. 

Thread guides were also made and these were used 
widely. 

The industry is continued by Miss Elizabeth M., 
daughter of Moses D. Garfield. 

Charles H. Marble, son of the late Henry Marble, manu- 
factures porcelain shuttle-eyes and thread-guides for 
textile work. He resides in the house formerly occupied 
by Dr. Amasa Braman at the Old Common and in a shop 
at this place conducts his business. He was formerly 
employed by the late Moses D. Garfield in the same 
industry. This business and that carried on by Miss 
Garfield are the only establishments of the kind in the 
country and the processes which they employ are of great 
value. (See independent sketch of Moses D. Garfield.) 

Millbury Foundry Company 
This company was begun by Bradway Felton & Co. 
and later passed to John Martin, who was succeeded by 
Martin and Sweetser. The business was located for a 
time on the Armory site on South Main Street, but later 
it was moved to the southwest corner of Waters Street, 
opposite the present location of the Millbury Machine 
Co's works. Afterward, John Martin and Winthrop 
R. Cunningham were in partnership. Then Mr. Cunning- 
ham conducted the business alone, but later sold one-half 
interest to Mr. Martin. Mr. Cunningham afterward 
retired and left Mr. Martin in full possession. Mr. Martin 
was succeeded by Mr. Colvin, but the business again 
passed to Mr. Martin, who sold it to H. T. Merriam in 
1886. Mr. Merriam re-located the foundry near the 
Boston and Albany R. R. tracks, on the site now occupied 
by the Millbury Steel Foundry. He manufactured 
wrought iron work, bridges, iron fronts, and many kinds 



284 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

of structural iron work. He also erected some of the 
buildings now occupied by the Millbury Steel Foundry 
Company. Mr. Merriam was succeeded by the Oakley 
Foundry Company which carried on iron and steel work 
for some time. The works are now in possession of the 
Millbury Steel Foundry. 

Millbury Steel Foundry Company 
The Millbury Steel Foundry Company was incorporated 
under the laws of Massachusetts, Aug. 31, 1908, as the 
"Oakley Steel Foundry Company." July 1, 1910, the 
name of the company was changed to "The Millbury 
Steel Foundry Company." It is capitalized at fifty 
thousand dollars. Seventy persons are employed. The 
plant was changed so that electric power is used for 
operating, and fuel oil for melting. The company manu- 
factures crucible steel and monel metal castings, which 
are claimed to be equal to machine steel forgings, because 
of proper annealing by a Rockwell annealing furnace. 
This develops the molecular structure of the metal and 
makes it homogeneous. This product has shown a tensile 
strength of seventy-five thousand pounds per square inch, 
an elastic limit of thirty-eight thousand pounds per square 
inch, and a reduction in area of forty per cent. All the 
company's castings are made under the supervision of an 
experienced metallurgist. 

Monel metal is a natural alloy of nickel and copper, 
composed approximately of sixty-eight per cent nickel, 
thirty per cent copper and the remainder iron. This 
wonderful metal is as strong as steel and non-susceptible 
to the action of sulphuric acid, muriatic acid or salt water. 
Besides being non-corrosive and rust proof, it will take a 
high polish and when buffed resembles nickel plate. It 
will not peel and tarnish, but always retains its bright 
lustre. 

This company makes castings in carbon steel, nickel 
steel, nickel chrome, and nickel vanadium. The following

are the present officers of the company: President, Fred- 
erick W. Moore, Millbury; vice president, Henry H. 
Merriam, Worcester; general manager, William W. 
Brierly, Millbury. 

Millbury Mills (Uxbridge Worsted Company) 
In 1907, this company began the manufacture of 
worsted goods at West Millbury in the Edwin Hoyle 
Mill, operating eighteen looms. A short time afterward 
it commenced manufacturing the same kind of goods in 
the Armsby laundry building at Millbury Centre and, in 
the spring of 1912, the West Millbury business was 
removed to this building. In the summer of 1912, the 
company purchased the old Parker carriage shop, remodel- 
ing and repairing it. Here the spinning and some of 
the weaving is done and, although the company formerly 
bought its yarn, it now spins all that it uses. 

At the beginning, the company employed thirty-eight; 
but now over one hundred hands are engaged in the busi- 
ness. This company has the honor of being the first in 
town to use electricity for power. Fifty-eight looms are 
now in operation, besides other machinery, and from eight 
the power used has now increased to one hundred and 
thirty horse-power. C. A. Root, of Uxbridge, is pro- 
prietor, and Augustus C. Neff is the local superintendent. 

Charles Buck Edge Tool Company 
Charles Buck, the originator of this company, started 
in business for himself, in 1873, having separated from the 
firm of Buck Brothers, of which he had been a member 
with the late Richard T. Buck. The company manu- 
factures chisels, gouges, plane irons, reamers, punches, 
and other edge tools. Its product is of great merit and 
has been awarded medals and diplomas for excellence at 
the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia, in 1876, and 
at The World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago, in 
1893. The works are located on the Grafton Road. 



286 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

This company enjoys the continued patronage of discrim- 
inating dealers in edge tools. The officers in 1914 were, 
president, James C. Ryder, and treasurer, Robert T. 
Pollock. In 1915, the works were purchased by W. L. 
Proctor, proprietor of Buck Bros. Edge Tool Works. 

H. W. Hakes Manufacturing Company 

Prominent among the industries of Millbury is The 
H. W. Hakes Manufacturing Company. In 1879, this 
business was started by H. W. Hakes in a shop of C. D. 
Morse & Co., which was destroyed by fire in 1881. Mr. 
Hakes then erected a small structure to the south of that 
location on the site of the present establishment, where 
the business was conducted for ten years under his own 
name. In 1891, the concern became "The H. W. Hakes 
Manufacturing Company." In 1900, a building two 
stories high, one hundred forty feet long, and forty feet 
wide was erected. In 1909, under one management, the 
business of the J. H. Williams Co. was added to that of the 
H. W. Hakes Manufacturing Company and an addition 
was built to the main structure, one hundred twenty feet 
long, forty-five feet wide, and two stories high. The 
Hakes Manufacturing Company manufactures wire hed- 
dle frames and mill wire goods. It gives constant employ- 
ment to thirty men at good wages. The J. H. Williams 
Company manufactures shuttles for all kinds of looms, as 
well as the German and native styles of wire heddles for 
plain and fancy weaving. The buildings are equipped 
with the latest improved machinery and the product of 
these companies is widely used. The officers of the Hakes 
Manufacturing Company are: Edwin L. Watson, presi- 
dent; Walter C. Watson, secretary and treasurer; and 
Hudson W. Hakes, manager. Mr. Hakes is also vice 
president and manager of the J. S. Williams Company. 

The pay-roll of this establishment is the second largest 
in town. 



INDUSTRIES NOT AT A WATER PRIVILEGE 287 

Samuel E. Hull Company 

Near the junction of Canal and Elm streets is located 
the warehouse of the Samuel E. Hull Co., which deals in 
cotton and cotton waste. This business was established 
by J. H. Merry and next passed into the hands of Briggs 
& Co. They were followed, in 1883, by Samuel E. Hull 
who, beside carrying on the business here, also conducted 
for years an extensive business in wool and wool waste in 
Worcester, where the office for both departments is now 
located. Since Mr. Hull's death in 1911, both places 
have been continued by the sons, Edward F. and Harry 
C. Hull. 

Water Works 

In 1888, a committee on water-works was chosen by 
the town and in its report it made the following recom- 
mendation: "First, — The Committee believes that the 
best interests of our town demand a public water supply, 
and recommends that this enterprise be undertaken at 
no distant time. Second, — We recommend the adoption 
of the plan referred to in the engineer's report as the 
Local Pumping Plan, so far as the construction of a well 
near the Boston and Albany Railroad, and the necessary 
pumping station, the laying of mains in our streets, with 
the necessary gates, hydrants, etc., and the building of 
the necessary reservoir upon Burbank Hill. " This report 
of the committee was signed by John Gegenheimer, Levi 
L. Whitney, Irving B. Sayles, and Dr. George C. Webber. 
Percy M. Blake was employed to make a survey and the 
following places were examined, — Singletary Pond and 
its watershed, Ramshorn Pond and Brook, Hull Brook, 
Garfield Pond at the Old Common, Hathaway Brook, 
the springs east of the Lovell place in the southerly part of 
the town, the springs adjoining the branch of the Boston 
and Albany R. R., the water-shed above these springs 
including the Lincoln meadow and the adjoining water- 
shed, Dorothy Pond, and, finally, the securing of a supply 
from the city of Worcester. 



288 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

The following letter was received from the State Board 
of Health in regard to the location finally accepted: — 

"Office of State Board of Health. 
13 Beacon Street, 

Boston, July, 1888. 
"To George F. Chase, Chairman of Selectmen, 
Millbury, Mass. 

Dear Sir— 

"After careful examination of the different sources of water 
supply for the town of Millbury, the State Board of Health finds 
that the site selected for a ground water supply has advantages 
which make it the most appropriate source for the town. 

"Analysis of water from the flowing well showed it to be very 
soft and of excellent quality. By order of the Board, 

(signed) Samuel W. Abbott, 
Secretary." 

After the report of Mr. Blake and the report of the 
water committee to the town the subject seems to have 
been dropped, and the interest had apparently died out. 
Some time later, however, Henry W. Aiken, Esq., took 
steps to renew the matter and a company was incorporated 
including with him Charles D. Morse, Samuel E. Hull, 
Damien Ducharme, Samuel N. Rogers and George F. 
Chase. 

The success of the company was due to the knowledge, 
enthusiasm, vision, and financial judgment of J. Herbert 
Shedd, hydraulic expert. He assisted the members of 
the corporation in planning and financing the enterprise 
and inspired their confidence in the undertaking, for he 
saw in his own mind the completed system before a start 
was made. With them he took up the matter and carried 
it through, establishing the well and pumping station 
beside the B. & A. R. R. tracks on the old road to Wor- 
cester. 

The charter of the Millbury Water Co. was granted 
by the Legislature, Apr. 19, 1893, to Charles D. Morse, 
Henry W. Aiken, Esq., Samuel N. Rogers, Samuel E. Hull, 
Damien Ducharme, and George F. Chase. After a long 



INDUSTRIES NOT AT A WATER PRIVILEGE 289 

and wearisome struggle, this company succeeded in open- 
ing its works to the public, Nov. 16, 1895, when the 
system was put to a public test in town hall square, amid 
the rejoicing of those who had labored long and hard to 
secure an adequate supply of water. The annals of the 
town show that much opposition was shown the enterprise 
until the final result was achieved. At the time of the 
opening, eleven miles of pipe, six to sixteen inches in diam- 
eter, had been laid, sixty-five gates were put in, and sixty- 
three hydrants set up, with specifications for forty-seven 
extra hydrants. The capacity of the reservoir on Bur- 
bank Hill is one million, five hundred thousand gallons. 

The first officers and builders of the Millbury Water 
Go's works were the following:— J. Herbert Shedd, presi- 
dent, S. E. Hull, Geo. F. Chase, Herbert A. Ryan, treas- 
urer, Lewis A. Clark, Sylvester M. Snow, J. William 
Patston, H. N. Wilson. The consulting engineer was 
J. Herbert Shedd. The engineers were Shedd & Sarle of 
Worcester, the mechanical engineer was Sylvester M. 
Snow, the architect was J. William Patston, the con- 
tractors were the Worcester Engineering Company, 
which included E. W. Shedd, president, George G. Hunt, 
secretary, and George H. Sawin. The sub-contractors 
were: for pipe laying, Lucian A. Taylor; for pumping sta- 
tion, Jas. S. Miles & Sons, Worcester; for reservoir roof, 
Geo. F. Chase; for collecting well, Timothy Lyons, 
Leicester. 

The present officers of the company are: President, 
Lucian A. Taylor; clerk and treasurer, Herbert A. Ryan; 
directors, Lucian A. Taylor, Matthew J. Whittall, Alfred 
Thomas, Harry C. Hull, and Herbert A. Ryan; superin- 
tendent, L. Clarence Rice. 

Since its establishment, additional sources for water 
have been added from nearby land.

Ephraim Goulding, or " Squire Goulding, " was noted 
for having well-nigh any article that could possibly be 
called for among his various commodities. A stranger 
came along one day and said to him, after looking over 
the place, "I see that you have almost everything any- 
one needs, but I think I can tell of one thing you haven't 
got, and that is a second-hand pulpit." "My dear sir," 
said the "Squire," " Please come up stairs," leading the 
way and sure enough, before the astonished visitor, there 
stood an old pulpit. 

Protective Union Stores. 
A Protective Union store nourished here, as in many 
other towns, sixty years ago. It was located on South 
Main street, near the crossing of the Providence & Wor- 
cester R. R. and was in charge of Charles Hitchcock. 
A little pamphlet then issued had on its cover the follow- 
ing: — "Constitution of The New England Protective 
Union, and By-Laws of Millbury Division No. 290, 
State of Massachusetts— Instituted Sept. 2, 1851." 
Another of these stores was located at Bramanville on 
the site now occupied by the general store of Alvan J. 
Winter.

296 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 



CHAPTER XXII 
BANKS 

The Millbury Bank 

In 1825, it seemed most desirable that the town have 
a banking institution. Accordingly, through the efforts 
and influence of a number of prominent public-spirited 
citizens, "The Millbury Bank" was established by an act 
to incorporate the president, directors, and company of 
the Millbury Bank. Having been passed by the Legislature, 
this act was approved in June, 1825, by Governor Lincoln. 

Seventy-three persons subscribed to the capital stock 
of $100,000 and on August 11, 1825, the first meeting of 
the stock holders was held at the home of Simon Farns- 
worth, Jr. Asa Waters was chosen moderator and Dr. 
William W. Benedict clerk of the meeting. The directors 
elected were Asa Waters, Simon Farnsworth, Jr., Gen. 
Caleb Burbank, Dr. Wm. W. Benedict, Elijah Waters, 
Jonas L. Sibley, of Sutton, Samuel Wood, of Grafton, 
Sylvanus Holbrook, of Northbridge, and Austin Denny, 
of Worcester. The directors were instructed to make all 
necessary arrangements for putting the bank in operation. 

At a subsequent meeting held on the first Monday in 
October, 1825, Hervey Hartshorn, of Sutton, was chosen 
as a director and Stephen Blanchard was made clerk of 
the corporation. Asa Waters was chosen president; 
Louis Mills, cashier; and Austin Denny, solicitor. The 
banking room was established in the Farnsworth block. 
In those days the annual meetings were so largely attended 
that it was necessary to adjourn to some hall for the tran- 
saction of business. This institution from the start filled 



BANKS 297 

an important place as an aid to the business men of the 
community. 

Simon Farnsworth, Jr., was chosen president in October, 
1829, and he served for ten years. Col. Asa H. Waters 
was chosen president in 1840 serving for three years. 
R. D. Chapman succeeded Louis Mills as cashier, in 1839. 
Jonathan Cary became cashier, in 1843; John Printess, 
in 1844; Joseph S. Farnum in 1852; and David Atwood 
in 1853, serving until 1872. 

Robbery 

On the night of Aug. 15, 1843, a package of money, containing 
about twenty-two thousand dollars, in some mysterious way 
disappeared from the vault of the bank, for when the cashier 
opened the safe on the following morning he looked in vain for 
the amount in the place in which he had left it on the previous 
evening, but in its place there was a bundle of brown paper resem- 
bling a package of money. The package lost came from the 
Suffolk Bank of Boston at which the money of the Millbury Bank 
was redeemed at the time. As soon as the loss was discovered, 
the bank officials were notified. The cashier, R. B. Chapman, 
had been confined to his home for several days by illness and an- 
other had been working in his place. Mr. Chapman had been in 
communication with his substitute, so that he had known of the 
arrival of the package of money from Boston, but he had not had 
the handling of it on the night before. Consequently, he was not 
sure that the exchange had been made after its arrival in Millbury. 
He at once sent for his substitute who was positive that the pack- 
age was not the same as that which he had placed in the vault the 
night previous. As the bank in Boston would be able to give 
the Millbury bank a full description of the bills contained in the 
package there would be sufficient incentive for those who had 
taken the valuable package to make an exchange of the bills at 
once. Col. Asa H. Waters, a wide-awake member of the board 
of directors, looked into the affairs of the men connected with the 
bank to find out whether by any chance some trusted official could 
have had a hand in the removal of the money. 

There was more than one key to the bank, but there was sup- 
posed to be only one to the vault, so it did not seem possible that 
the safe could have been opened, the money removed, the safe 
locked again and the robbers vanish into the night, leaving no 
trace behind them, without the aid of some confederate who had 
supplied a key. The directors decided that any man who had the 
audacity to plan so bold a robbery would know that the longer he 
held the money in his possession, the more difficult it would be to 



298 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

get rid of it. Detectives were sent out from an agency in Boston 
which made a special line of bank work and it was learned that a 
young, well-dressed man had passed a considerable amount of 
the Millbury bills in Leicester and Spencer. He was unknown 
to any of those who had conversed with him and his one distin- 
guishing feature was colored glasses, supposed to be worn to pro- 
tect weak eyes. The detective at once concluded that his strong- 
hold was to seek some young man in Millbury who was known 
to have unusually strong eyes and who would be most easily dis- 
guised by so simple a device as colored glasses. Again, the man 
with the colored glasses was heard of with his face pointing to 
New York. He had repeatedly passed some of the stolen money, 
but in none of the places had he been suspected for the reasons, 
first, that the news of the robbery had not been spread abroad 
and, secondly, that the ways of the young stranger were pleasing 
and refined. With all this in his favor it was weeks before the 
right man was discovered. 

The first arrest for the robbery was made at Millbury Center. 
The detectives had been drawing in their nets until one evening 
when two widely known young men were arrested at the American 
Temperance house, a famous hostelry of those times, (the Sweetser 
house on Elm Street) and not far from the Savings Bank. One 
of these was employed in a woolen mill which stood where the 
West End Thread Co's works are located. One of the men was 
entirely innocent, and was later released. Our venerable fellow 
citizen, Silas Dunton, guarded one of the prisoners over that night, 
when much excitement was aroused through the town. The 
arrest of this young man, detained under the charge of Mr. 
Dunton, had given the bank people a further clue to work upon, 
for they concluded that, if this young man would deprive the bank 
of some of its cash, it was quite likely that his cousin, who worked 
in the mill with him, would bear watching. 

These men had as good a driving horse as there was in this 
section at the time, and it was stabled in a small barn that stood 
at the north end of the present thread mill but, although the 
officers searched this barn many times in an effort to locate some 
of the money, nothing was found. At this time, however, a man 
named Frank Darling was employed by Woodward & Gorton as 
one of the outside men about the mill. His duties, which were 
varied, sometimes took him into the barn, and one night, after 
the first arrest in connection with the bank robbery, he had occa- 
sion to go there late at night. As he was turning to leave the 
building his attention was attracted by a place in the side of the 
hay mow, for it appeared as if the hay had been pulled out for 
some reason and then put back. Upon investigating he discovered 
a hole there which contained more money than he had ever seen 
before in all his life. 



BANKS 299 

Wild with the delirium which money often causes in those who 
have never had the possession of large sums, for a few moments he 
was tempted strongly, but he went to his little home nearby and 
told his faithful wife of the immense pile of money that he had 
found. He told her that he was going to bring it into the house 
before some other man got it and that later they would see what 
would be done with it. She was a good New England woman 
whose heart was in the right place. She had retired for the night 
and, rising from her bed, with snapping eyes she pointed her finger 
at her tempted spouse and said to him, "Frank Darling, if you 
ever bring one cent of that money into this house, I go out of it 
and I stay out of it. That money must belong to the bank, and 
we have not even the right to place our hands on it until the men 
to whom it belongs have been notified. Don't you come near 
me again until you have gone down to the village and told Colonel 
Waters about it. " Darling argued that it was too late to disturb 
Colonel W T aters, but the wife replied, "If you are too timid to do 
it yourself, I will go and I will tell him it is not safe a minute in 
your hands." 

So Darling walked down to the village, roused Colonel Waters, 
and told him of the discovery. The Colonel was very willing to 
go to the rescue of the bank's funds, so he accompanied Darling 
to the barn where a good part of the money was found, but before 
removing it to his home Colonel Waters examined the money and 
found that most of it had been exchanged, so that he had no 
lawful right to take it away, because of his inability to prove the 
bank's right to it, and he inadvertently expressed himself to this 
effect in the presence of Darling. He made up his mind, however, 
that there was no moral doubt that the money all belonged to the 
bank, as some of the bills were of the kinds known to have been 
exchanged for those stolen, so he took the funds to his home and 
early in the morning informed the other officials. Employment 
was found for Darling far from Millbury and all his cost of moving 
was paid. 

Three other men, all of the same name as the one arrested, were 
brought before Justice Green at Millbury on the first of Septem- 
ber and. after an examination occupying part of two days, they 
were bound over to appear at the next term of the criminal court 
in Worcester. About three thousand dollars were found on the 
prisoners when arrested. 

Hiram Kenney who had a small brass foundry at West Millbury 
was well acquainted with all three of the robbers and the principal 
one, for whom be often did work in brass, was a favorite with him. 
This man once wanted some keys made in brass, a request which 
Mr. Kenney thought strange, as the man was a machinist himself, 
but the desire was explained to his satisfaction, so that Mr. 
Kenney did the work required. As a result of this work Mr. 
Kenney died thinking that he had innocently furnished the key 



300 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

by which the Millbury bank had been robbed, and that perhaps 
he had furnished keys to other safes. 

The three men were convicted of the robbery of the bank and 
they served various terms of imprisonment. One of them, 
however, afterwards reformed and became a highly respected 
citizen and a leading business man of the county. 

Simon Farnsworth, Jr., became president of the bank 
for a second time, in 1843, and served sixteen years, 
declining to serve longer. He was succeeded by Jonathan 
Warren of Grafton, in 1860, who had been a director since 
1838. On Dec. 15, 1863, he resigned and was succeeded 
by the Hon. Hosea Crane of Millbury, who had been a 
director since 1856. 

Millbury National Bank. 

In 1864, the Millbury Bank came to a close when it 
was authorized by the stockholders and empowered by 
the directors to change and convert the Millbury Bank 
into the Millbury National Bank in order that the Mill- 
bury Bank and the Stockholders might avail themselves 
of the advantages presented by the General Banking 
Law passed by Congress, June 3, 1864, entitled "An Act 
to provide a National currency and provide for the 
Circulation and Redemption thereof, etc." The Articles 
of Association were adopted Oct. 25, 1864. The Capital 
remained the same, $100,000. The number of stockhold- 
ers was ninety-three. The directors were Hon. Hosea 
Crane, John C. Bacon, Horace S. Warren, John G. Wood, 
Chas. D. Morse, Thos. J. Harrington. Mr. Crane con- 
tinued as president and David Atwood as cashier. The 
new Bank was authorized by the comptroller of the 
currency to commence business Nov. 6 and the bank com- 
missioners of Massachusetts authorized the change on 
Nov. 17, but the bank did not actually commence business 
as a national bank until Dec. 1, 1864. 

On Dec. 9, 1864, the capital stock was increased to 
$150,000 and, in 1872, it was again increased to $200,000 
with a surplus of $35,000. In 1875, the bank had a sur- 



BANKS 301 

plus of $40,000. Substantial dividends were always paid 
to the stockholders and the sound judgment and business 
sagacity of the officers and directors soon put the Millbury 
National Bank among the foremost banking institutions 
in the state. 

The Hon. Hosea Crane who served as president for 
sixteen years died, in 1879, and was succeeded by Charles 
D. Morse. Frank C. Miles succeeded David Atwood as 
cashier and Amos Armsby entered the bank as a clerk, 
in 1872. Mr. Armsby was elected cashier, in 1875. 
Horace S. Warren of Grafton was chosen president, in 
1896, and Henry T. Maxwell was made cashier in 1897. 

In 1881, after occupying the old quarters for more than 
a half century, the Bank was moved to the Millbury 
Savings Bank building nearly opposite, on Elm Street, 
with the National Bank occupying one side of the big 
banking room and the Savings Bank the other. In 1904, 
to conform with the law requiring national and savings 
banks to be entirely separate from each other, extensive 
improvements were made in the bank building. A glass 
partition was put through the center of the main floor, 
new fire and burglar proof vaults were built, steel safe 
deposit boxes were installed, and a spacious directors' 
room was added in the rear. 

In 1899, the Hon. Samuel E. Hull became president 
and served until his death, in 1911. He was succeeded 
by Henry W. Aiken, Esq. Arthur W. Snow, who entered 
the bank as a bookkeeper, was cashier from 1909 to 1911. 
In December, 1911, he was succeeded by Leon Rice Part- 
ridge of Worcester. In 1915, Mr. Partridge was succeeded 
by R. W. Brigham. 

The capital stock has been reduced to $100,000 and 
again to $50,000. 

Since 1864, the following gentlemen, in addition to 
those previously named, served on the board of directors: 
William H. Harrington, 1865; David Atwood, 1868; 
John Rhodes, 1872; Peter Simpson, 1872; L. L. Whitney,

than at any time in its history. With modern methods 
of doing business and uniform courtesy extended to all 
its patrons, this institution commands the attention and 
respect of Millbury and the neighboring towns along the 
valley. 

The bank has now gone into the Federal Reserve Fund. 

Millbury Savings Bank 

The Millbury Savings Bank was incorporated April 
10, 1854. The first meeting was held in the officers' 
room of the Millbury Bank, May 27, of that year, at 
which Jonathan A. Pope was chosen chairman and David 
Atwood, secretarj\ The first permanent officers, elected 
May 31, 1854, were Jonathan A. Pope, president; Simon 
Farnsworth, C. R. Miles, J. A. Hovey, and E. W. GofTe, 
vice-presidents; David Atwood, secretary; and John E. 
Bacon, Asa H. Waters, Benjamin Flagg, Simon Dudley, 
Amasa Wood, Mowry Farnum, Thomas H. Witherby, 
D. B. Sibley, Hosea Crane, Asa Woodbury, L. I. Wood- 
bury, Seth Hartwell, Harvey Dodge, Jonathan Warren, 
Ezekiel Saunders, and I. S. Farnum, trustees. 

Books for deposit were first opened June 17, 1854. A 
few days later, June 28, David Atwood was chosen to be 
the first treasurer. His bond was placed at SI, 500. 00. 
Two years later, July 12, 1856, the treasurer was allowed 
fifty dollars a year for salary. 

On July 9, 1859, regular semi-annual dividends were 
declared of two and one-half per cent and twenty-five 
per cent of the dividend was paid in addition. In the 
next year, May 25, 1860, a six per cent dividend for the 
year was paid. At that time the by-laws were changed. 
On July 9, 1864, an extra dividend of twenty-five per cent 
of the dividend declared was voted. In the next year, 
July 6, 1869, an extra dividend of forty per cent of the 
regular dividend was declared with the provision that it 
should be fifty per cent if the reserved profits should 



304 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

warrant it. On Dec. 29, 1876, the semi-annual dividend 
was reduced to two and one-half per cent. 

In 1881, the bank built and moved into the present 
bank block, providing better accommodations for the 
bank and better safe and vault security for its funds. 
The two banks, savings and national, continued in opera- 
tion as separate institutions, but in the same rooms until 
April 1, 1904. At this time a partition, largely of glass, 
was put in which divided the banking rooms into two 
separate banking establishments. A double vault was 
built with safety deposit boxes on the national bank side. 
An electric alarm was installed which gives warning of 
any attempt to molest the safe. The savings bank occu- 
pies the upper, or westerly, side of the banking rooms and 
the national bank occupies the lower, or easterly side. 

On July 3, 1879, the semi-annual dividend of the bank 
was made two per cent and in all its career it has never 
paid less than this rate on its deposits. Sums are received 
from twenty-five cents up, but the smallest amount that 
can draw interest is three dollars and the largest deposit 
that can draw interest is sixteen hundred dollars. This may 
increase, however, until it becomes two thousand dollars. 
A new set of by-laws was adopted May 25, 1906. 

The following is a list of the presidents of the bank 
with the dates of their election: 

Jonathan A. Pope May 31, 1854 

C. R. Miles June 9, 1856

306 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 



CHAPTER XXIII 
CHURCHES 
First Congregational Church 

In the early days of New England the church, the 
parish, and the town were intertwined in their adminis- 
trative affairs. The clergy had a legal claim on the town 
for support and the inhabitants were assessed for the 
maintenance of sanctuary privileges as much as for other 
expenses, although these were kept as a separate account. 
Accordingly, when, in 1742, the first steps were taken, 
which resulted seventy-one years later in the establish- 
ment of Millbury as a separate town, an effort was made 
to form a separate parish in Sutton (see Chapter III. 
p. 34), it was also the first attempt to establish the 
present First Congregational Church in Millbury or, as 
then known, the Second Congregational Church in Sutton. 

A later attempt to form the new parish was successful 
and the following is a copy of the warrant for the first 
meeting in the Second, or North, Parish of Sutton: 

"Worcester, ss. To Jeremiah Buckman, Jr., of Sutton in ye 
county of Worcester, Greeting: — You are hereby required in his 
majesties name to warn and give notice to ye freeholders and 
others, inhabitants in ye second parish, in Sutton aforesaid, 
qualified to vote in Town affairs, that they must meet at the house 
of Mr. Richard Singletary, in said Sutton, in said precinct, on 
Monday, the twenty-sixth day of December, instant, at nine of 
ye clock in ye forenoon, then and there to act on each of ye par- 
ticulars expressed in above request. 

(petition for meeting) 

By posting a copy of the request and this warrant at such public 
places* in said precinct, hereof fail not and make return hereof 
and of your doings hearin at or before ye said twenty-six day of 
December instant at nine o'clock in the morning. Given under 
my hand and seal at Oxford, this Eighth Day of December A. D., 
1743, Richard Moore, Justice of the Peace." 

♦It was posted at the mill door of John Singletary. 



CHURCHES 



307 



Accordingly, on the twenty-sixth day of December, 
1743, as we learn from the church records, the first meet- 
ing of the parish was held at the house of Richard Single- 
tary, which was situated at the outlet of "Crooked Pond, " 
now called Singletary Lake. The moderator was Capt. 
Timothy Carter, and Robert Goddard was the clerk. 
The parish continued to hold meetings at this house until 
May, 1745, and religious services also were held here for 
some time. On April 29, the Rev. Matthew Bridge was 
called to the pastorate but he declined to accept. The 
church next called the Rev. Josiah Dunster, who also 
refused. A third call was extended to the Rev. James 
Wellman, and he accepted the charge. The church was 
organized Dec. 10, 1747, and adopted the Cambridge 
platform. Ruling elders were chosen at the time but 
the church has always been continued under the Congre- 
gational system. The following named persons were 
dismissed from the First Church in Sutton to form this 
Second Congregational Church of Sutton, now Millbury.

The first meeting-house of the Second, or North, Parish 
was situated on the Old Common and it was erected in 
1744. One account stated that "it stood about two rodes 
north-east of a large elm tree." The building had "no 
steeple, and in form was like a barn." In fact the old 
structure was given the name of "The Lord's Barn." 
It was forty feet long and thirty-five feet wide. After 
having been in use for nearly sixty years this first building 
was moved across the road four or five rods and, after it 
ceased to be used for religious purposes, it was used in 
connection with a public house. Herewith we give a 
floor-plan of this structure. (See opposite page.) 

The present church building, which was begun in 1802, 
was first situated on the eastern side of the present road 
running on the eastern side of the Old Common. The 
building faced the Old Common but was not on it as the 
bounds run at present. It stood between the present 
corner house (now occupied by Mr. Marble) and the next 
house to the north. 

The building was dedicated Nov. 27, 1804. On June 
17, 1828, the first meeting of "The Harmony Conference," 
now known as "The Worcester South Association of 
Congregational Churches," was held here. Some time 
after the year 1827, it was proposed that the new building 
be removed to Bramanville and this question was after- 
ward discussed at parish meetings. As opinions were 
divergent, the decision was finally left to a board of refer- 
ees, composed of members from other churches, and this 
board decided that it would be best to move the edifice. 
The parish accepted the report to move and the building 
was accordingly taken down at the Old Common, in 1835,

moved in pieces, and again erected on its present site at 
Bramanville. It was rededicated Jan. 14, 1836. 

The following quotation, in the handwriting of Asa 
Waters, 2d, was taken from a paper in the possession 
of Miss Mary Goodell, of Whitinsville. (No heat had 
been furnished in the church building previously.) 

"It has been found by experience that stoves in meeting houses 
are very useful through (the) winter adding greatly to the Comfort 
and health of those who attend through the inclemency of the 
weather. A stove set (at) the bend of the aisle next to the wall 
pews to the right and left of the Pulpit having the pipes ascending 
to the Gallery & then taking a horizontal direction along by the 
Gallery to the front & then ascending out of the house, produces 
a degree of warmth through the house. The expense is supposed 
not much to exceed one hundred dollars. We the subscribers 
having a desire of procuring them for our meeting house, do 
severally engage to pay the sum affixed to our names for the pur- 
poses of defraying the expenses thereof. 

Millbury, Dec. 18, 1819."

The Rev. Mr. Goffe, who for a long time had been pastor 
of the church at the Gld Common felt, apparently, that 
the removal of the building affected the spiritual interests 
of that section of the town adversely, for he was a sub- 
scriber to the building fund of the Union or West Congre- 
gational Church, and his son, E. W. Goffe, was at one 
time clerk of the Union Society.

Martyn, installed, Nov. 16, 1911. 

Among the early deacons in the church we find the 
names of Abel Chase, Thomas Gould, Daniel Greenwood, 
Ebenezer Pierce, Asa Waters, Aaron Pierce, and Jonathan 
Waters. The ruling elders were Daniel Greenwood, 
elected July 22, 1767; Amos Singletary, elected Feb. 4, 
1768; Daniel Greenwood, elected January, 1776; Oliver 
Bond, elected Sept. 7, 1809; Elijah Waters, elected Jan. 5, 
1815; Jonathan Waters, elected Feb. 12, 1829. 

On the day preceding the celebration of the 150th anni- 
versary of the church a county paper made the following 
comment: "The First Congregational Church which now 
occupies the well known edifice in 'Bramanville' has 
exerted a powerful influence on the community's develop- 
ment since its organization by a few Christian people, 
so many years ago. Generation after generation has 
grown up within it, and as the sons and daughters of the 
village have left for other homes, its teachings and its 
policy have been carried far and wide. In nothing per- 
haps has the Millbury parish been more fortunate than 
in the length of service of its pastors. Seven ministers 
in 150 years is a remarkable showing and one of which 
the church may well be proud. The average stay of a 
pastor has been over twenty years and the present head 
of the parish (the Rev. G. A. Putnam) has had a term 
now in its twenty-seventh year." 



312 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Deacon Elijah Waters, of West Millbury, who died, 
Dec. 16, 1846, at the age of seventy-three, bequeathed 
five thousand dollars to the First Congregational Society. 
He also had at the time a mortgage on the parsonage 
which, with the accrued interest, amounted to sixteen 
hundred dollars, but he gave this also to the society. 

The one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the organ- 
ization of this church was held on Thursday and Friday 
evenings, Sept. 9 and 10, 1897, with appropriate exercises. 
On the first evening from six to seven a reception was held 
in the church parlor, followed by a collation. At eight 
o'clock a public service was held in the main audience 
room. 

On Friday evening at seven o'clock the Rev. George 
P. Eastman of Millbury, the Rev. John R. Thurston of 
Whitinsville, and the Rev. Henry A. Blake of Webster, 
assisted in the service. A historical sermon (which has 
since been printed) was delivered by the Rev. George A. 
Putnam, pastor of the church. 

At the anniversary exercises a letter was read from a 
former pastor, the Rev. E. Y. Garrette, which was 
received with particular interest. 

In 1909, the church was thoroughly renovated at a 
cost of three thousand dollars and, according to Mr. 
Putnam's statement, it was then in better condition than 
at any time during his pastorate which covered a period of 
forty years, lacking a few months, as his resignation took 
effect on the last Sunday in June, 1910. (See sketch of 
Rev. G. A. Putnam.) 

The Rev. William C. Martyn, of the First Congrega- 
tional Church, New Bedford, Mass., was called to fill the 
vacancy made by Mr. Putnam's resignation. He began 
his labors the first Sunday in September, 1910, and was 
formally installed Nov. 16, 1911. A Sunday School and 
the other usual church societies are regularly maintained, 
all working together for good. The present superintend- 
ent of the Sunday School is Mr. Frank E. Sanborn.

The Shakers 

Previous to 1800, there existed in what is now the 
territory of Millbury a branch of the religious sect known 
as the "Shakers." Although little is known of them, 
Peter Whitney, who wrote the first history of the county, 
published in 1793, refers to them in his article on Sutton, 
locating them in the second parish of Sutton. A Shaker 
society also flourished at the time at Harvard, Mass. 
We find that David Dwinnel and his wife Deliverance 
joined this society and moved to Harvard. They had 
four children, none of whom, however, joined this sect. 

Second Congregational Church 

The Second Congregational Church is located at 
Millbury Center and except for the first year has main- 
tained evangelical religious services in the present church 
building. 

The founders exercised a scrupulous care to avoid 
possible dangers besetting them in the formation of the 
new enterprise and upon legal advice in the charter of 
the society there was inserted a clause, the first of its 
kind, we are told, admitting to membership only those 
who received a majority affirmative vote of the members. 
This gave to the body a security in the management of 
its affairs not possessed by others in which the voting 
qualifications were lax. Since every one in those days 
was taxed for the support of the church in some one of 
the different communions, the methods pursued by the 
charter members of the new ecclesiastical society protected 
them against all who might seek a vote in its affairs, 
only to divert the work from the purpose of the founders. 

The charter given to the new religious society is dated 
February 10, 1827, and bears the names of Asa Waters, 
Elias Forbes, Joseph Torrey, Vernon Stiles, David Wood- 
ward, Calvin Barker, Simon Farnsworth, and Aaron Trask. 
The society thus chartered sought and secured the organ- 



314 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

ization of a Presbyterian church, because they calculated 
on opposition which, happily, was not forthcoming. 

At first the new church worshipped in a small school 
building on School street, though comparatively soon the 
present structure was erected and was dedicated, October 
2, 1828, as a place of worship. In connection with the 
raising of the church it is worthy of note that no intoxi- 
cating liquors were served on the grounds at the time, 
quite an innovation for such occasions, although the 
custom of the day was observed by allowing those who 
so desired to secure grog at a nearby inn at the expense 
of the society. 

Not until June 30, 1827, four months after the granting 
of the charter for the formation of the religious society, 
did forty members living in the Armory village (what is 
now known as the "Center") petition for a dismission 
from the First Congregational Church to form the new 
Presbyterian Church. On July 16 of the same year, the 
request was granted and, on August 23, they formed 
themselves into the Presbyterian Church of Millbury. 
The separation took place with cordial feelings on the 
part of the First Church. 

Assembling in town, August 23, 1827, the presbytery 
of Newburyport met and heard the documents relative 
to the institution of a Presbyterian Society in Millbury, 
and also the petition of certain persons who wished to be 
organized as a Presbyterian Church. The presbytery 
voted to receive the petitioners under its care and the 
new church was started with the following members who 
severally signified their wish to be organized, namely: 
Elias Forbes, Elijah Torrey, Asa Andrews, Jonathan 
Grout, Elias Hull, Moses Dunton, Zadock Sibley, John F. 
Barton, Samuel Brown, Oliver Clapp, Joseph Hastings, 
Henry Goddard, Luther H. Trask, Vernon Titus, Stephen 
Harrington, Moses L. Morse, Henry Johnson, Francis 
McCracken, Mary Forbes, Annie Torrey, Vilinda Cutler, 
Lydia Waters, Eliza Waters, Lydia Goodell, Zoa Dunton, 



CHURCHES 315 

Rhoda Goddard, Lydia Sibley, Mary Barton, Lucy Brown, 
Sally Stockwell, Prudence Clapp, Mary A. Hunt, Addie 
B. Wright, Sarah Johnson, and Mrs. Hulda Morse. 
Others "who were confined by bodily indisposition" were 
waited on by a committee for examination and upon its 
report there were also admitted to membership in the 
church: Joanna Eaton, Lucy Eaton, Mrs. McCracken, 
Lucy Farnsworth, and Azuba Hastings. Elias Forbes 
and Joseph Torrey were elected elders and Moses L. 
Morse and Moses Dunton were elected deacons. Twenty- 
five more persons were admitted at the first communion 
and the next year thirty-nine united with the church. 

Continuing for seven years with this form of church 
government, upon the repeal of the law compelling all 
citizens to pay taxes to the parish (Congregational) 
church unless connected with some other church, the 
church became Congregational in name and reality as it 
had all along been in spirit. 

Like our Pilgrim forefathers who came over in the 
Mayflower, it was the laymen, the body of the church 
itself, who determined the policy and carried to a success- 
ful issue the formation of the society and the church, 
together with the erection of the house of worship. It 
was after a year and a half of pulpit supplying and 
candidating that the church called a pastor, the Rev. 
George Washington Campbell. He came at a time of 
anti-masonic feeling and, as he was a mason of high stand- 
ing, he courteously withdrew after a successful pastorate 
of four years during which there was the largest single 
addition to the church, thirty-six in all, in its history. 

In 1834, William A. Larned came to the church from 
Yale Divinity School, but on account of delicate health 
he remained but a year, being dismissed Oct. 19, 1835. 
He afterwards became professor of literature in Yale 
College. 

May 24, 1837, the Rev. Samuel G. Buckingham was 
ordained and installed as pastor of the church. He was 



316 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

one of the "new lights" of that day, a good leader, a 
writer, a man of tact, of great ability and consecration, 
who had only one later pastorate, that of fifty years with 
the South Church of Springfield. 

"This society in its earliest days depended largely 
and almost wholly for its church singing and leader of the 
music upon a young man by the name of Nathaniel God- 
dard, who for that time possessed a good knowledge of 
music and a voice of superior quality .... The 
introduction of musical instruments as a part of church 
service came early but was not reliable, owing to the fact 
that the performers were, to some extent, a transient 
class of citizens." The violoncello and the clarinet were 
the usual instruments then used in the production of 
music. Later a violin (on week-days, a fiddle) was added 
and at times other instruments appeared. After being 
reduced in musical instruments to one flute, played by 
Col. Asa H. Waters, during the winter of 1843-44, Mr. 
Charles Sibley purchased an organ which had been taken 
from the Union Church in Worcester, secretly transported 
to Millbury on Friday night and installed during Satur- 
day, so that it stood with a bold front facing a surprised 
congregation on Sunday morning. There was opposition 
to the innovation, but it remained in its place to the 
enrichment of the service of worship. 

In 1847, upon Mr. Buckingham's dismissal, the church 
turned to one whom it had endeavored to secure as its 
pastor at a previous pastoral interim, namely, the Rev. 
Leverett Griggs, D. D., who was installed September 22, 
of that year. The most notable occurrence during this 
pastorate was the remarkable revival of 1851 which greatly 
affected both the church and the town. Seventy-three, 
at least, have traced their union with the church, then or 
later, from the time of this great uplift. A dearth fol- 
lowed, as was inevitable, though efforts were made to 
keep up the stream of incomers. On Jan. 19, 1856, Dr. 
Griggs resigned, largely because he found himself unable 



CHURCHES 317 

to support his family of six children upon the salary of 
seven hundred and fifty dollars with no parsonage. 

April 24, 1856, the Rev. Lewis Jessup was installed as 
pastor. This period in the country at large was one of 
sectional feeling. Civil war was impending and church 
matters received no special uplift. He was strict in his 
demands for discipline and the roll of the church was 
cleared. That the church prospered is seen in the fact 
that in 1858 twenty-four were added to its membership. 
He was dismissed March 29, 1860. 

Two years after the dismissal of Mr. Jessup, the Rev. 
Charles H. Peirce was called to the pastorate of the church 
and was installed Oct. 22, 1862. During his pastorate 
the building was thoroughly remodelled. One of the 
most notable changes was the reversing of the pews so 
that they faced as they now do — a change that had been 
advocated for a quarter of a century. He was deeply 
beloved by the people, but his pastorate was a short 
one, through his lamented death, Oct. 5, 1865. 

Dec. 6, 1866, the Rev. Stacy Fowler was installed to 
the pastorate of the church. While he was minister, the 
present comfortable parsonage was erected. He was a 
man of broad sympathies and under his leadership the 
church prospered. He was dismissed March 5, 1878. 

In the same year, on April 16, the Rev. John L. Ewell 
was installed as pastor of the church. Many now active 
in the work of the church and elsewhere were roused to 
Christian service and directed in the path of a consecrated 
life under his ministry. In 1884, the building was 
thoroughly renovated. The organ, which had done 
service for over forty years, was removed and the present 
fine instrument was installed. Mr. Ewell was dismissed 
Jan. 5, 1891, to become dean of Howard University, 
Washington, D. C. 

May 7, of the same year, the Rev. George P. Eastman 
was installed. His work is still so fresh in mind that it 
has hardly emerged from the field of current events into 



318 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

that of history. In 1891, the church was incorporated. 
In 1893, extensive repairs were made in the church build- 
ing. Later, free pews and the pledge system of raising 
money were instituted. A new bell was hung in the 
belfry — the fourth in the history of the church. Beau- 
tiful memorial windows were purchased and put in place. 
An addition to the building was made which afforded 
greater facilities for social occasions. Sept. 7, 1902, the 
church celebrated the seventy-fifth anniversary of its 
organization with appropriate exercises. Peace, pros- 
perity, and piety marked the life of the church during his 
even tempered and devoted ministry. Dec. 14, 1903, 
he was dismissed to accept the pastorate of the Congre- 
gational Church in Orange, New Jersey. 

Dec. 6, 1904, the Rev. Grove F. Ekins was installed as 
pastor of the church. A vigorous men's organization 
and a boys' club flourished for a time during this period. 
March 25, 1909, Mr. Ekins was dismissed and became 
pastor of the church in Housatonic. 

Oct. 19, 1909, the present pastor, the Rev. Robert W. 
Dunbar, was installed. During this time the church 
has twice been honored in having among its worshippers 
the President of the United States, the Hon. William 
Howard Taft, who visited his aunt, Miss Delia C. Torrey, 
at the time the senior member of the church. 

Baptist Church 

The town records show that as early as 1814 several 
persons who belonged to the Baptist Church at Grafton 
resided in Millbury. In 1817, there was a Baptist 
Society in this town, and May 10, 1826, a more thorough 
organization was effected. The Rev. Christopher Hall, 
the Rev. Otis Converse, of Grafton, and Elder Harrington 
of Sutton, preached here. 

In the year 1835, at the house of Abijah Gleason, in 
West Millbury, the Millbury Baptist Church was formed 
with eighteen constituent members. The first public 



CHUKCHES 319 

meeting was held in the old schoolhouse on the site of 
Union Chapel, West Millbury. Upon the completion of 
the West Congregational Church,, in 1837, the Baptists 
joined with others in Union services in that edifice for a 
time. In 1840, however, the Baptist Church moved to 
the Armory Village where distinctively Baptist services 
were held in the old Academy Hall. The first regularly 
settled pastor was the Rev. Hervey Fitts who ministered 
to the church from 1841-43. Other pastors were the 
Rev. James Upham, D. D., 1843-45; the Rev. S. J. 
Bronson, 1846-53; the Rev. Cyrus T. Tucker, 1853-56; 
Joseph Aldrich, Homer Sears, Joseph Smith, Mr. Chap- 
man and S. A. Thomas, supplies, 1856-58; the Rev. S. A. 
Thomas, 1858-62; the Rev. J. E. Brown, 1864-67; the 
Rev. C. A. Skinner, 1867-68; the Rev. S. J. Bronson, 
1870-74; the Rev. George B. Gow, 1874-80; the Rev. 
D. W. Hoyt, 1880-89; the Rev. A. M. Crane, 1889-91; 
the Rev. S. D. Ashley, 1891-98; the Rev. Geo. E. Lombard, 
1898-1901; the Rev. Charles W. Park, 1901-06; the Rev. 
H. E. Chapman, 1906-. 

The present brick building was occupied for the first 
time, Dec. 26, 1864. The superintendent of the Sunday 
School is Mr. Harry A. Nugent. The following societies 
are connected with the church in its various lines of work: 
a Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor, a Ladies' 
Aid Society, and a Ladies' Missionary Society. 

In 1914, the interior of the church edifice was thoroughly 
remodelled. The organ was moved to the front of the 
auditorium, new pews were provided, a new pulpit and 
baptistry were constructed, the walls were re-decorated, 
and ornamental stained glass windows were put in place. 

Methodist Episcopal Church 

A Methodist class was formed in Millbury in 1825, by 

the Rev. William Archer, an English preacher, which 

flourished for a short time. In 1835, another class was 

formed by the Rev. Erastus Spaulding, well known as 



320 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

"Father Spaulding. " The church was organized in the 
same year under the circuit plan. The preachers on this 
circuit at that time were the Rev. M. P. Alderman and 
the Rev. William Heath. The Rev. Thomas Tucker 
served as pastor in 1836. He was succeeded by the Rev. 
W. S. Campbell who preached for a little more than a 
year. He was followed by the Rev. M. P. Alderman, 
a former pastor, who remained until 1840. In its early 
days the church met in the hall of the lower tavern. The 
present church building was dedicated Nov. 17, 1840, the 
sermon being delivered by the Rev. Orange Scott. Since 
the coming of Mr. Tucker, the church has been regularly 
supplied with ministers. Bishop W. F. Mallalieu, as a 
boy, attended this church and Millbury people are proud 
of having had such a devoted man among its early 
attendants. 

The Rev. Homer W. Courtney kindly supplied the 
following later facts concerning the church: 

"During the pastorate of the Rev. William Wignall, 
1895-96, the church edifice was thoroughly repaired. 
New windows were put in, a new roof was put on, the 
main auditorium was repapered and the building was 
painted inside and outside. An addition was built at 
the rear for the organ and a platform was constructed in 
the main auditorium for the pulpit and choir. The total 
cost was about $2,000. During the pastorate of the 
Rev. Walter Healy in 1901-02, a beautiful site was 
purchased on Prospect Street, opposite Highland Street, 
on which a parsonage was erected." 

The following have served as pastors since 1840: 

Rev. William P. White, 1840 to 1841 

Rev. L. R. Thayer, 1841 to 1842

meetinghouse from the Old Common to Bramanville 
in 1835, many residents near the old location were not 
reconciled to the change and they determined to have a 
church building at West Millbury. The first steps toward 
the accomplishment of this end are indicated in the 
preamble of a subscription paper, dated Oct. 18, 1836.

322 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

"We, the subscribers, believing that the public good and the 
happiness of ourselves and families requires that there should be 
a house built for a place of public worship on Grass Hill, so-called, 
in Millbury, by these presents bind ourselves, each to the other, 
to build a house .... and will pay the sums affixed 
to our several names." 

By Oct. 22, 1836, more than the required two thousand 
dollars had been subscribed and at a meeting of the sub- 
scribers, held on the twenty-ninth, Mark Lothrop, Simon 
Tainter, and Abijah Gleason were chosen as a building 
committee. On the sixth of December they reported that 
a location had been secured and that the lowest proposal 
for building the meeting-house was $2,900. 

The church building was accordingly erected on the 
main road in West Millbury, about two hundred yards 
from its intersection with the road leading from the Old 
Common (site of the John C. Crane house). 

In May, 1837, The Union or, as it was called, The 
West Congregational Church, was organized with forty- 
five members, twenty-nine having withdrawn from the 
First Congregational Church, whose covenant and articles 
of faith were adopted, with a change in the names. 

Among the early ministers over this church were the 
Rev. Caleb Burbank Elliot, who was educated for the 
ministry by Gen. Caleb Burbank, and the Rev. A. 
Phillips. In 1840, the Rev. Sidney Holman was installed 
as pastor and remained with the church until 1851. 
Services were afterward held until December, 1857, 
when the church disbanded. 

The church building was re-opened after some years 
and preachers were sent to the pulpit from the Methodist 
Conference. During this period the Rev. Jefferson 
Hascall, presiding elder of the Conference and author of 
the hymn entitled "The Land of Beulah, " occasionally 
occupied the pulpit. In 1861, the Rev. Joseph J. 
Woodbury supplied the pulpit and resided in the vicinity. 

Occasionally Baptist clergymen and lay preachers 
have held services in the building. 



CHURCHES 323 

By consent of the Legislature, in 1871, Simeon S. Waters, 
E. W. Goffe, and Nymphas Longley sold the land and 
meeting-house in the name of the Union or West Church 
Society and distributed the proceeds of the sale among its 
members. The church building, the bell, the stone steps, 
the land, the stoves, and the furnishings were sold sep- 
arately and brought altogether seven hundred and sixteen 
dollars. The communion set used by the church was 
given to the First Congregational Church of Kellogg, 
Iowa, of which the Rev. Richard Hassell was pastor. 



St. Bridget's Roman Catholic Church 

A Roman Catholic mission was established in Millbury 
in 1850, and the first clergyman to officiate here was the 
Rev. James Fitton, first pastor of St. John's Roman 
Catholic Church of Worcester. 

Previously, services had been held in the Town Hall, 
in the " Arcade" building and at the home of James 
Campbell, who then resided opposite the upper end of 
Brierly Pond on the West Millbury Road. The land for 
St. Bridget's Church was given by Mr. and Mrs. Michael 
Coogan. The Rev. Mathew Gibson succeeded Father 
Fitton at Worcester and also in the mission work here. 
The succeeding pastors at the mission were the Rev. A. 
L'Eveque, the Rev. E. J. Sheridan of Uxbridge, and the 
Rev. J. J. Power, of Worcester, during whose pastorate 
the building was enlarged. In 1869, the church became 
a regular parish, with the Rev. M. J. Doherty as resident 
priest. After the death of Father Doherty, the Rev. 
William H. Goggin, then at the cathedral in Springfield, 
was appointed over St. Bridget's parish, Sept. 1, 1886. 
Within a year, the edifice was thoroughly remodeled. 
He terminated his relation with the church in 1898 after 
twelve years service and went to St. Paul's church in 
Worcester. Father Goggin was succeeded by the Rev. 
Charles J. Boylan who, because of ill health, labored 



324 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

here but a few months. In October, 1898, the Rev. P. L. 
Quaile, then at Turners Falls, was appointed to this parish 
and continued as its priest for four years. He was suc- 
ceeded by the Rev. John F. Conlin, who served the church 
for two and a half years. The present priest, the Rev. 
John F. Griffin, M. A., was appointed to the church, 
Nov. 7, 1905. 

Father Griffin is a man of strong personality whose 
genial and courteous manner makes him popular through- 
out the community. Under his direction several improve- 
ments have been made in the church buildings and 
grounds. 

The church property is free from any incumbrance of 
debt. Connected with the church are a boys' and a 
girls' sodality; two choirs, a senior and a junior, under 
the direction of Mr. Thomas J. Moran. The Hibernian 
society is under the spiritual direction of the priest of 
this church. A Holy Name society was organized in 1914. 



Protestant Episcopal Mission 

Previous to 1880, Protestant Episcopal services, con- 
ducted by the various rectors of St. John's Church of 
Wilkinsonville, were held in the upper room of the high 
school (the old Academy) building and later in the 
Methodist Church, where the worshippers met Sunday 
afternoons. 

In 1880, upon the completion of the present (then new) 
Town Hall, the south-west room on the second floor was 
equipped for regular services and was called "The Mission 
Room." May 8, of that year, a regular organization 
was perfected in which the officers were, — Edward Ander- 
son, warden; John Hopkins, Esq., treasurer; and Samuel 
C. Nield, clerk. Services were continued regularly until 
April 25, 1888. During this time the rectors in charge 
of the mission were the Rev. James T. Ellis, until 1882, 
and the Rev. John Gregson for the remainder of the time. 



CHURCHES 325 

In 1894, the Mission was re-organized and services were 
held for some weeks in the Second Congregational Church 
after which the mission was conducted in the Unitarian 
Church. These services continued regularly until Aug. 
16, 1898. During this period the rectors in charge of the 
mission were the Rev. Mr. Trussell and the Rev. Mr. 
Hodgkiss, who were successively appointed over the St. 
John's Protestant Episcopal Church at Wilkinsonville. 



First Unitarian Church 

In 1879, at different homes meetings were held, presided 
over by various Unitarian clergymen among whom were 
the Rev. Edward Hall and the Rev. Austin S. Garver, 
both of Worcester. March 4, 1884, the First Unitarian 
Church of Millbury was instituted and on the sixteenth 
of the same month, largely through the efforts of Mrs. 
Elizabeth Livermore and Mrs. Francis Walker, a mem- 
orable service was held in Blanchard Hall, at which the 
Rev. Mr. Garver officiated. Following this meeting, 
services were continued until June 22 of the same year, 
when a covenant was adopted and an organization 
perfected, with the following officers: Clerk, Mrs. N. H. 
Sears; parish committee, Mrs. B. T. Rice, John Rhodes, 
Silas Dunton, Mrs. Simon Farnsworth, and Mrs. A. G. 
Livermore; treasurer and collector, Thomas A. Winter; 
Sunday School Superintendent, Thomas A. Winter; 
music committee, Anson G. Livermore, John C. Waters, 
and Mrs. Carrie Marble. 

Silas Dunton, Thomas A. Winter, John Rhodes, 
Benjamin T. Rice, and Nathan H. Sears, as petitioners, 
were granted the right of incorporation as a religious 
society and, March 19, 1885, "The First Unitarian 
Society of Millbury" was accordingly incorporated. 

In 1885, preliminary steps were taken for the erection 
of a house of worship and, Aug. 4, 1887, the following 
building committee was chosen: Calvin Barker, John B. 



326 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Barton, Silas Dunton, George Burnett, and T. A. M. 
Bennett. The church building, which is situated on Elm 
street opposite Waters, was dedicated Sept. 20, 1888, 
and the first communion service was celebrated on the 
Sunday following when a communion set was used that 
had been presented by Mrs. John W. Ware in memory of 
her husband. 

The following have served the church as pastors: 
the Rev. Julius Blass, from 1885 until 1889; 
the Rev. Mary T. Whitney, through whose efforts a 

Young People's Society was organized, 1889-92; 
the Rev. Nathaniel Seaver, 1892-96; 
the Rev. Henry Mitchel, 1896-98; 
the Rev. Clifton M. Gray, 1898-1901; 
the Rev. Alson H. Robinson, 1901-04; 
the Rev. Charles H. Dalrymple, 1905-07; 
the Rev. Albert Walkley, 1907-10; 
the Rev. William T. Hutchins, 1910-13. 

Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin 
Roman Catholic (French) 

Because of the considerable French speaking popula- 
tion settled in Millbury and its vicinity a Roman Catholic 
Church, having a French-speaking pastor, was organized 
in April, 1882. From that time, however, the French 
population of the vicinage has grown from one hundred 
and seventy-five families until it numbers over three 
hundred and fifty families with a population of about 
seventeen hundred. 

A church edifice was begun in April, 1884, and was 
dedicated Nov. 14, 1886, with appropriate ceremonies. 
The structure was burned in 1914 and the parish wor- 
shipped in St. Bridget's church while waiting for its own 
place of worship to be rebuilt. 

The first priest in charge of the parish, the Rev. J. A. 
Charland, was highly esteemed by his people and con- 



CHURCHES 327 

tinued with them until his death, although in his later 
years, because of poor health, he was assisted by other 
priests. 

Jan. 23, 1907, the Rev. Louis E. Barry was appointed 
to the church and continued in charge until 1915. It 
was his desire to establish a parochial school and for this 
purpose land near the church building was purchased in 
1912. 

Jan. 15, 1915, the Rev. Joseph Octave Comtois, who 
came from West Springfield, was appointed over the 
parish. 

The societies immediately connected with the church are 
"Ladies of St. Anne's" and "Children of Mary." Na- 
tional societies represented in the parish are "St. Jean 
Baptiste Society," "The Artisans Society," and "The 
Foresters' Franco-American Society." 

In 1915, the present structure was erected. 

Union Chapel, West Millbury 

For several years after the dissolution of the church at 
West Millbury, in 1871, religious services, conducted 
principally by pastors of the churches in the town, were 
occasionally held in the school-house. In 1887, in 
response to a general desire for more adequate rooms for 
religious and social purposes a Ladies Union Entertain- 
ment Society was formed for the purpose of furnishing 
entertainments which would stimulate interest in the 
vicinity and at the same time raise money for erecting 
a new chapel. The society also sought to raise money 
by subscriptions and appointed the following solicitors: 
Miss Leora Balcom, Mrs. John S. Blanchard, Miss 
Florence E. Crane, Mrs. John C. Crane, Mrs. Henry W. 
Davidson, Miss Florence Freeman, Mrs. Emily C. 
Goulding, and Miss Lizzie Wheeler. The following 
gentlemen were also selected to supervise the erection of 
the building: Thomas Windle, H. W. Bentley, Ira Glazier, 



328 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Freeman Van Orman, and Henry W. Davidson. As a 
result of the efforts put forth the present Union Chapel, 
situated on the main road in West Millbury near the cor- 
ner of the road leading to Oxford, was erected at a cost 
of twenty-two hundred dollars. 

May 29, 1888, the building was dedicated with appro- 
priate exercises at which a historical address was given 
by John C. Crane, a statement of the building committee 
was given by Thomas Windle, a sermon was delivered by 
the Rev. George A. Putnam, and a letter was read 
from Charles D. Morse expressing a hope that the 
enterprise be "as enduring as the hill upon which it 
stands." 

This property is held in the care of three trustees who 
are chosen annually in December and the choice is made, 
if possible, among the people of West Millbury, who are 
members of evangelical churches in town. The first 
board consisted of Ira Glazier, Edwin Hoyle, and Theo- 
dore B. Sherwood. 

The Sunday services at the chapel have been conducted 
by pastors from the Congregational, Methodist, and 
Baptist churches and by John C. Crane, a lay preacher 
of the Baptist Church. 

Connected with the Chapel is a Social Union which 
stimulates an interest in the work at the chapel and raises 
funds for its support.

CHAPTER XXIV 

SCHOOLS 

Every township, "after the Lord hath increased them 
to the number of 50 householders," was obliged by law 
to appoint one within the town to teach "all such children 
as shall resort to him to write and read; whose wages shall 
be paid either by the parents or masters of such children, 
or by the inhabitants in general, by way of supply, as 
the major part of those that order the prudentials of the 
town shall appoint; provided, those that send their chil- 
dren be not oppressed by paying much more than they 
can have them taught for in other towns; and it is further 
ordered, that where any town shall increase to the number 
of 100 families or householders, they shall set up a gram- 
mar school, the master thereof being able to instruct youth 
as far as they may be fitted for the university, provided, 
that if any town neglect the performance hereof above 
one year, that every such town shall pay £5 to the next 
school till they shall perform this order." 

From the town records, we learn that there were two 
committees having charge of school matters; one of these 
was composed of representatives from the several districts; 
the other, called the Prudential committee, supervised 
the actions of the former. 

In 1813, the county-bridge schoolhouse stood below 
the old cemetery, on the south side of and a little back 
from the street on the main road to Wilkinsonville. .In 
the same vicinity, at the junction formed by the road 
crossing the county-bridge and the road from the Centre, 
a brick building is standing, which was early used for 
school purposes. Until 1862, a little one-story square 
schoolhouse, having a four-sided pointed roof, stood 



330 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

on the Old Common nearly on the site of the present one. 
An early school building also stood at the junction of the 
road from the Whittemore place on the Grafton road, 
not far from the home of Samuel Goodell. Later on, 
a schoolhouse stood on the Worcester road not far from 
Martin street. Eighty years ago there was a schoolhouse 
on Park Hill, not far from the home of Calvin R. Brackett. 
In the Haywood district, which included the territory on 
the eastern road to Worcester, a schoolhouse stood near 
Dorothy Pond. 

The earliest Bramanville schoolhouse was located 
within a few feet of the present watering trough and a 
later building, built of brick, was situated nearby. 

At West Millbury, the original schoolhouse which was 
built of brick stood on the site now occupied by Union 
Chapel. It was destroyed by fire supposed to have been 
started by "some miscreant not having the fear of the 
law before him." The building was replaced by a hip- 
roofed wooden structure with but one room which was 
used both for school purposes and for holding religious 
meetings. 

The former residence of General Burbank, purchased 
by the town and remodeled for school purposes, still 
stands on Burbank Hill, overlooking the valley of the 
Blackstone. It is a reminder of the general who did 
so much for the town in its early days. Its present 
owner, William E. Home, has converted it into a tene- 
ment house. 

These schoolhouses which served in the early days of 
Millbury, like those erected elsewhere in New England, 
were small and, usually, only one story high. Although 
these old structures have been replaced by more modern 
buildings, yet among the older citizens fond memories 
cling about the sites where many learned the rudiments 
of knowledge. 

On March 21, 1814, the following report was made at 
the town meeting: 



SCHOOLS 331 

"The committee to whom was submitted the question of mak- 
ing some new arrangements and alterations in the school-districts 
in the town of Millbury have attended to the business and ask 
leave to report the following statement of the relative state and 
circumstances of the several districts in town, together with their 
opinion respecting the same. The relative state of the districts 
stands as follows: — Grass Hill district has 35 families and draws 
$87.50; Center (Old Common) district has 28 families and draws 
$70.00; Paper-mill district (Bramanville) has 21 families and 
draws $52.00; County-bridge district has 41 families and draws 
$102.50; Northeast district has 12 families and draws $30.00; 
Southeast district has 9 families and draws $22.50. From the 
above statement your committee are of opinion that by far too 
great a disproportion exists in said districts. With regard to the 
three first mentioned districts, your committee do not conceive 
it necessary to make essential alteration. But with respect to 
the three last, it is the unanimous opinion of your committee that 
an alteration ought to be made, in order that an equal distribution 
of this highly important priviledge of schooling may be realized 
in that part of the town. All which is humbly submitted.

Although the early inhabitants felt the need of pro- 
viding school accommodations yet the financial stress 
through which the country was passing enforced a modest 
beginning. Sutton, at its annual town meeting in 1813, 
had voted to appropriate one thousand dollars for the 
schools and, on August 23, in that year, Millbury voted 
to raise its proportion of this money, three hundred and 
sixty-four dollars. (See Annals.) Millbury later voted 
twenty-five dollars for rewards and premiums, so that 
three hundred and ninety dollars was the entire sum paid 
for school expenses by the tow r n during the first year of 
its history. 

The old district school was a kingdom by itself in which 
the prudential committee-man ruled over the school and 
the school property. In summer, the pupils were small 
boys and girls, but in winter they were almost grown men 
and women. Of graded schools, like those of the present 
time, nothing was known. The child of five and the 
youth of twenty would recite lessons in the same room. 
The wooden ruler and the birch sapling were used fre- 



332 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

quently, as many have testified from personal experience. 
Often, some of the larger pupils would undertake to carry 
matters with a high hand, in defiance of the school 
regulations, but their effort usually came to grief, for the 
old-time school-master generally won the day. 

Winter evenings were often enlivened by the old- 
fashioned spelling-school, which was usually well attended. 
The spelling-bee, too, was an early institution in the 
villages of New England, which the surviving participants 
recall with pleasure. 

Mrs. Abby (Kelly) Foster, wife of Stephen S. Foster, 
an Abolitionist and co-worker with William Lloyd 
Garrison, and herself a noted Anti-slavery lecturer, was 
among the early school-teachers of the town. 

The town is also proud that its roll of teachers bears 
the name of Miss Clara Barton who was world-famous for 
her distinguished services as nurse in the Civil War and 
later as a leader in the work of the American Red Cross 
Society, so that her name has been commonly linked with 
that of Florence Nightingale in her services for humanity. 
For a term she taught in the school at West Millbury. 

In 1818, twenty-five dollars were appropriated for a 
singing school. Out of the money due from individuals, 
a sum was appropriated, which, added to the school 
money, amounted to $500, for a permanent school fund. 
On May 3 of the next year, however, this fund was used 
to pay expenses of the town. 

In 1822, fifty dollars were voted to be used for a singing 
school. 

In 1825, twenty-five dollars were placed in the hands of 
the school committee, "to be used as they saw fit." 

In December, 1826, the town purchased of Moses 
Dunton a lot for a schoolhouse on School street. In 
June, 1827, the district voted that "the Presbyterian 
Society (Second Congregational) may use the new school- 
house, until they have a place of their own." 



schools 333 

In September, 1827, schools were divided as follows, 
"Scholars who are eight years of age and over shall com- 
pose the first school and be taught by a male teacher. 
And scholars under eight years of age shall be taught by 
a female teacher." From the by-laws of the Union 
school District for 1827, we learn something of the rules 
concerning the school and the school property. 

"Article 1. The school-house and appendages thereto belong- 
ing, together with all the property of the district, shall be under 
the special care and keeping of the prudential committee. And 
the school-house shall not be used for any other purpose than 
school-keeping, religious meetings, and singing schools, without 
leave of the Prudential committee. 

"Article 2. It shall be the duty of the Prudential committee 
to visit the school and premises frequently, and to see that no 
damage is done to the house or premises. 

"Article 4. During the Intermission (at noon), the door of the 
school-house shall be locked and pupils required to go to their 
homes, except by the judgment of the teacher in inclement weather 
some could remain in the school building." 

A Prudential committee was chosen which had general 
superintendence of the schools, such as examining the 
teachers, selecting textbooks, regulating attendance, as 
provided by an act passed by the Legislature in 1826, 
"providing for the further instruction of youth." 

March 7, 1831, a committee, appointed in 1830 to 
examine schools, reported as follows: "We were much 
gratified with the wisdom and economy of the arrange- 
ment in the schools on Grass Hill (West Millbury), at the 
Paper-mill and Union districts, in dividing them and 
placing all under a certain age by themselves, under the 
instruction of female teachers thus leaving the master 
unembarrassed by young children to pay an undivided 
attention to the older scholars." 

The report also commended the infant school kept by 
Miss Hooper in the Paper-mill district stating that, "This 
is beginning the work of government and education where 
it ought to begin — it is laying the axe at the very root of 
ignorance and insubordination." Four hundred and 



334 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

eighty-five scholars attended the schools in town during 
the winter. 

At the same time an excellent private school was kept 
at Bramanville. 

In 1832, one thousand dollars were voted for school 
purposes — an increase over the previous appropriations 
because of the growth in population. 

In 1835, the money expended was six hundred twenty- 
seven dollars and eighty-six cents. 

In 1836, at West Millbury Mr. Thomas P. Green, from 
Amherst College, opened a High School. The tuition 
was three dollars per quarter, but for Greek, Latin, and 
French, four dollars were charged. 

In 1838, nine hundred dollars were voted for schools. 

In 1842, the amount voted was one thousand dollars. 

In 1848, twelve hundred and fifty dollars were voted 
for schools. 

April 1, 1850, at the annual town meeting, article VI, 
which concerned the establishment of a high school, was 
referred to a committee, consisting of Simeon Waters, 
Leonard Dwinnell, Samuel Waters, C. R. Miles, Josiah 
L. Woodward, Oliver Rice and Simeon Haywood, one 
from each school district, who were instructed to report 
at the following March meeting of the town. According- 
ly, March 4, 1851, the committee reported and the town 
voted to institute a high school. A committee of seven, 
consisting of J. E. Waters, Horace Waters, Asa H. Waters, 
E. W. Goffe, Josiah L. Woodward, John E. Bacon, and 
Hervey Park, one from each school district, was chosen 
to bring in plans and estimates for the proposed school 
at the April meeting of the voters. April 7, this com- 
mittee reported and the town chose a committee of three, 
consisting of C. R. Miles, Andrus March, and Mowry 
Farnum, who were instructed to purchase the Millbury 
Academy building and site, provided that it could be 
bought on the conditions embodied in the report pre- 
sented. Fifteen hundred dollars were appropriated as 



schools 335 

part payment on the Academy property and the selectmen 
were authorized to borrow five hundred dollars to make 
the first payment. It was also voted that five hundred 
dollars be raised for the support of the high school during 
that year. 

In 1852, seven hundred and fifty dollars were appro- 
priated for the High School, and the following year this 
amount was increased to one thousand dollars. 

In 1857, the expenditure for the support of both the 
common and the High schools was $2800. 

March 2, 1857. The town "voted to raise and appro- 
priate the sum of $1,800.00 for the common schools 
and $1,000.00 for the High School." 

In 1863, the town voted to abolish the school districts; 
accordingly, in 1864, we find the following report. 

" We the undersigned having been chosen by the legal voters 
of the town of Millbury, to appraise the school-houses and other 
property which the town possesses in consequence of having 
abolished the school districts, have examined the said property, 
and agreed upon the value of the same as follows: —

In 1865, money was appropriated to pay the school 
districts the " amounts that may be due them for the 
schoolhouses now in the possession of the town, the school 
districts having been abolished." 



336 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Dec. 30, 1865, the town voted to establish and maintain 
schools for the education of persons over fifteen years of 
age. 

In 1870, six thousand dollars were appropriated for 
school purposes. 

March 20, 1871, it was voted "that the school com- 
mittee be instructed to employ a superintendent of the 
public schools in town." Fifteen hundred dollars were 
appropriated for his salary. 

April 19, vote of March 20 concerning superintendent 
of schools was rescinded. 

In 1872, the first public graduating exercises for the 
high school were held. 

In 1873, the best record in the school belonged to 
Cyrus F. Carter, of the fourth class, who later became 
a physician. Mr. Jackson continued to be principal of 
the High School for ten years and gained for himself 
an enviable reputation as a teacher. In 1883, he resigned 
his position in Millbury to accept a similar one in Worces- 
ter where for eighteen years he was principal of the Wood- 
land street school, and, in 1901, he was promoted to be 
principal of the English High School. 

March 19, 1877, seven thousand dollars were appro- 
priated for the schools. 

In 1880, the number on the school committee was 
reduced from six to three. Year after year the com- 
mitte had reiterated in its reports the evil effects attending 
the frequent changes of teachers in the schools. In one 
report Dr. Webber and those associated with him stated 
that "A town is what its citizens make it, and its citizens 
are what its schools make them. Give us the money 
and your committee will accept the responsibility of 
giving you good schools." The town permitted the 
school committee to make use of the Town Hall, which 
occupied the upper floor in the building, for school pur- 
poses. 



schools 337 

In 1883, the committee recommended that there be a 
superintendent of schools who would also be principal 
of the High School. 

In April, 1884, Dr. Webber, who had served faithfully 
as a member of the school committee and had shown 
unusual interest throughout a long term of service, 
resigned. 

As might be expected the need of money for school 
purposes gradually increased and, in 1888, the additional 
expenses for necessary repairs upon the High school 
building brought the appropriation up to $12,500. Thirty- 
five hundred dollars were appropriated for repairing the 
high school building. 

March 16, 1891, the town accepted the legislative act 
of 1888 "to unite with one or more towns in employing 
a superintendent of schools." 

The first superintendent of schools was Mr. J. S. Cooley, 
who served in 1891. 

With an increase in the population came a demand for 
larger school accommodations, thus, in 1892, a new 
schoolhouse was built at Bramanville, at a cost of a little 
more than $14,000. Mr. George N. Goddard resigned 
as principal of the High School and Mr. R. A. Parker 
was chosen to fill the position. The superintendent of 
schools, Mr. J. S. Cooley, also resigned and Mr. F. E. 
Sanborn succeeded him. 

March 20, 1893, ninety-eight hundred dollars were 
voted for schools. 

In 1894, Mr. C. S. Lyman was superintendent of schools. 

In the report of the school board for 1895 in answer 
to the question "What is the character and quality of our 
schools?" the answer was given: "It can be affirmed with 
candor that our schools are maintained at a good stand- 
ard, and this declaration rests not alone upon the belief 
of the school committee and superintendent, but is con- 
firmed by the opinion of a visiting supervisor, (signed) 
Henry W. Aiken, Dr. Edmund March, Amos Armsby. "

338 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

The superintendent's report to the school committee 
for 1896 stated in reference to teachers' meetings that, 
"They have been continued successfully through the 
year; not only has the superintendent lectured at those 
meetings but teachers have given their experience in 
various lines of work." 

During 1899, D. Edmund March resigned from the 
school board. He was a conscientious, earnest worker, 
who aimed to promote the welfare of the schools. 

In 1901, C. S. Lyman closed his services as superintend- 
ent of schools having satisfactorily filled the office for 
nine years. He was succeeded by W. C. Lea. 

From the school report for 1904 we learn that there 
was an entirely new staff of teachers employed that year 
in the High School, all of whom were selected after an 
exhaustive examination of candidates. Miss Clara B. 
Cook and Miss Sarah W. Kelley were assistants. 

In the school report for 1906 a brief memorial was given 
to Mr. Amos Armsby who was a member of the school 
board at the time of his death. It was an expression of 
his associates on the board. "Long and faithful has been 
his service, and his death was a substantial loss to the 
public schools." 

In 1908, Mr. Ira T. Chapman was superintendent of 
schools. 

In 1910, Dr. Robert Booth, a prominent citizen of the 
town, who had been a member of the school board but 
a short time, died. In 1912, the superintendent, Mr. Ira 
T. Chapman, resigned and Mr. Chauncy C. Ferguson 
was chosen to fill that position. 

It is gratifying to all Millbury people to know that the 
Hon. William Howard Taft, ex-president of the United 
States, was for a season in his boyhood days, a pupil in 
the Millbury schools. 

When the High School supplanted Millbury Academy, 
Mr. A. P. Stone continued in charge. Succeeding prin- 
cipals have been the following, with the date of their

Evening Schools 

In 1866, an appropriation of three hundred dollars was 
made, on November 6, to defray the expenses of an even- 
ing school. 

In 1882, "at the beginning of the winter term, an even- 
ing school was opened in the Union Grammar school 
room, under Mr. W. P. Brown and Miss Fanny Browning. 
It began with thirty-five pupils and was continued ten 
weeks." 

In 1891-'92, two schools were opened, one at the Union 
building, with Thomas H. Sullivan, principal, and Miss 
Lucy Harrington, assistant; the other school at the Provi- 
dence street building, with Miss Abigail Callahan as 
teacher. 

March 16, 1896, three hundred and fifty dollars were 
appropriated for evening schools. 

In 1905-'06 an evening school was opened at the High 
school building in which the assembly hall and one 
recitation room were used. The principal was Miss 
Callahan and the assistant, Mr. John E. Welch. 

In 1908-'09 an evening school was opened at the High 
school building with Mrs. Abigail Callahan Dowd as 
principal, and Mr. A. F. Vaughn, assistant. 

In 1909-'10, an evening school was held at the High 
school building with Mrs. Dowd as principal, Miss 



340 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Augusta M. Harris as assistant, and two teachers, Miss 
Pearl Lacouture, and Miss Mildred Brierly. These 
schools have proved to be a valuable adjunct to the edu- 
cational forces of the town. 

St. Joseph's Industrial School 

Through the courtesy of Mr. Thomas A. Dowd, clerk 
of the Board of Trustees, we are in possession of the 
following facts relating to St. Joseph's Industrial School, 
located on Park Hill in the town. 

The late Rt. Rev. Mgr. Thomas Griffin, of Worcester, 
saw the advantage of providing an institution in which 
Roman Catholic boys who did not have a home, or who 
might be in need of some strong directing influence, could 
find shelter and at the same time would be educated along 
useful lines. 

Consequently, in 1900, he purchased the site on Park 
Hill on which St. Joseph's Industrial School is located. 
Aug. 2, 1900, the corporation of St. Joseph's Industrial 
School was organized. Among the subscribers to the 
agreement of association were the Rt. Rev. Thomas D. 
Beaven, Roman Catholic Bishop of Springfield; the Rev. 
Bernard S. Conaty; the late Rt. Rev. Mgr. Griffin; the 
Rev. D. M. O'Neil; the late James P. Tuite, and the late 
Rev. John J. Power, all of Worcester, and about twelve 
Roman Catholic laymen of the City of Worcester. Since 
that time the corporation has managed the business of the 
Institution, and the work of caring for the boys has been 
under the direction of the Xaverian Christian Brothers. 
Since its start many boys have been at the Institution, 
and, besides obtaining the ordinary common school 
education, they have been taught the practical trades.

"To assist such former comrades in arms as need help 
and protection, and to extend the needful aid to the 
widows and orphans of those who have fallen. 

"To maintain true allegiance to the United States of 
America, based upon a paramount respect for, and fidelity 
to, the National Constitution and laws, to discountenance 
whatever tends to weaken loyalty, incites to insurrection, 
treason or rebellion, or in any manner impairs the effici- 
ency and permanency of our free institutions; and to 
encourage the spread of universal liberty, equal rights 
and justice to all men.

place the true comrade will never forget his duty to his 
comrades in arms."

Millbury Social Union 

On May 30, 1889, a social gathering was held at the 
residence of Mr. Amos Armsby at which the matter of 
forming a club in town which should include members 
of the evangelical churches and congregations was pre- 
sented. It was voted that such an organization was 
deemed advisable and a committee of four, consisting of 
the Rev. Joseph Condlin, D. T. March, the Rev. A. M. 
Crane, and Dr. J. R. Lincoln, was appointed by the chair 
to draw up a constitution and a code of by-laws. Mr. 
Armsby was added to the committee. 

On July 8, 1889, at a meeting held in the Second Con- 
gregational Church, a constitution and by-laws were 
adopted. Sept. 5, 1889, the following officers were 
elected: president, Amos Armsby; vice-president, Rev. 
A. M. Crane; secretary, Henry T. Maxwell; treasurer, 
Carroll Thayer. 

The object of the Union is to encourage among the 
members of the Protestant churches and congregations 
of Millbury a more intimate acquaintance and to discuss 
such church questions as may promote the physical, 
intellectual, and religious welfare of the town. 

Until 1910, the meetings were held quarterly. At that 
time the constitution was revised and the object broad- 
ened, so that the attendants of any church, whether in 
Millbury or the surrounding towns, are eligible to mem- 
bership. The meetings were also reduced in number to 
three each year.

Day at the Chapel by having a supper and entertainment 
at which the veterans of the Civil War have been guests

Foresters of America 
Court Millbury No. 79 Foresters of America has held 
a prominent place among our fraternal organizations. 
Through the efforts of Jos. S. Anderson and Thos. F. 
Dean, of Worcester, the following were secured as charter 
members to form a nucleus for Court Millbury and at a 
meeting of Court Quinsigamond, of Worcester, July 13, 
1892, they were elected and initiated: James M. Cronin, 
R. F. Brown, Thos. A. Dowd, Thos. L. Brown, Wm. C. 
Carberry, Patrick C. Carroll, Thos. A. Dolan, Wm. A.

352 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

July 28, 1892, a dispensation was granted by the 
Supreme Court and Grand Court of the Ancient Order of 
Foresters of America of the State of Massachusetts,author- 
izing the instituting of Court Millbury, No. 8165, Ancient 
Order of Foresters of America. In 1896 the word "An- 
cient" was eliminated and the number changed to 79. 
The Court now is known as "Court Millbury, No. 79, 
Foresters of America." 

At a meeting Aug. 9, 1892, held in Odd Fellows Hall, 
Grand Recording Secretary, Joseph S. Anderson, and 
several of the Grand Court Officers instituted Court Mill- 
bury and installed the following officers: chief ranger, 
Thos. A. Dowd; sub. chief ranger, Thos. L. Brown; 
recording secretary, Robert F. Brown; financial secretary, 
Thos. J. Cronin; senior woodward, Michael J. Gleason; 
junior woodward, John Coulter; junior beadle, Patrick 
Carroll; senior beadle, Wm. Army. Board of Trustees: 
Jeremiah F. Lyons, chairman, for three years; James J. 
Sullivan, for two years; Charles Tebo, for one year; court 
physician, Dr. Robert Booth; past chief ranger, Dr. Chas. 
H. Hakes. 

Sixty new members were initiated that night. Since 
that time the Court has continued to prosper, growing 
in membership and finances so that it now has a member- 
ship of about 300 and a treasury of about $5,000.00. 
The Court disposes annually of about $1,000.00 for sick 
benefit— $5.00 per week for 13 weeks, $2.50 per week, 13 
weeks, and $1.25 per week for remainder of sickness. 
A death benefit of $100.00 is payable to one's family and 
$50.00 is payable on the death of a wife. 

The success of the Court in a great measure is due to 
the executive ability of the Chief Ranger and the financial 
officers. The roll of Honor as Past Chief Ranger of the 
Court is the following: 

Thomas A. Dowd, Robert Rushby, Jeremiah F. Lyon, 
Chas. Tibeault, John F. O'Leary, M. T. O'Leary, John 
H. Neudeck, Chas. A. Kennedy, Joseph E. Army, Medick

tion, because involving the welfare of humanity, do agree 
to form ourselves into an association for the prosecution 
and accomplishment of the above named purpose. So 
we have our club composed of women brought together 
by a desire for a larger mental growth, whose companion- 
ship is not based upon neighborhood, previous acquaint- 
ance, or church. "

OLD HOUSES 



359 



CHAPTER XXVI 
OLD HOUSES 

Stephen Blanchard House, West Millbury 
On the plot of land between the cemetery and the main 
road in West Millbury stood, until a few years ago, the 
old house of Stephen Blanchard. To this place came 
Thomas Blanchard, as a boy, to work for his brother at 
tack-making,but the old shop was many years ago divided, 
part of it having been removed to the location occupied 
by the home of J. J. Fjellman. Part of the building is on 
Loon Island in Singletary Lake. The remainder was 
converted into a dwelling house. Samuel Blanchard, 
father of Thomas, later resided opposite in the house now 
occupied by Wm. H. Fairbanks. 

Captain Burbank House 
On High street, in Bramanville, nearly opposite the 
store of the late A. S. Winter, there stood until 1914 an 
old house which was once the home of Capt. Abijah 
Burbank, the paper-maker. It was a two-story struc- 
ture, long neglected, and but partly occupied, but it 
was a silent witness to many changes in and about the 
village since its first occupant passed away. 

Caleb Burbank House, Bramanville 
In the early thirties, on Burbank Hill, Gen. Caleb 
Burbank built what was for those days a magnificent 
mansion, which he equipped suitably for a man who was 
regarded as the richest man in the town. The house 
has been moved a few rods from its original location, but 
it is a constant reminder of the palmy days of the 
Major-general. The view from its location is extensive, 



360 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

overlooking as it does the scenes of his early labors. The 
town purchased the building and it was used for nearly 
thirty years as a schoolhouse; and on the site a handsome 
school building was built later. The older building is the 
next above the present Burbank schoolhouse. 

Chaplin-Braman-Marble House, Old Common 
This old residence, facing the Old Common, or old train- 
ing ground, was once the home of the Rev. Ebenezer 
Chaplin. Later it was the residence of Dr. Amasa Bra- 
man. The place is now occupied by Mr. Charles Marble, 
son of the late Henry Marble. The doctor's still- 
house was a little way from here on the corner of Elm- 
wood and Beach streets where cider-brandy was distilled. 

The Elliot-Severy-Gilson House 
The ancient and forsaken old mansion, once the home 
of Captain Andrew Elliot, a soldier of the Revolution and 
captain of one of the Sutton companies, was built before 
1771, if the tradition is true that it was erected by Captain 
Timothy Carter who died in that year. He left no sons 
and only his older daughter Anna married, so far as the 
town records show. Certainly she, as the wife of Andrew 
Elliot, was long mistress of the mansion. Their two 
older sons died before the father, the third son remained 
in Millbury, and the fourth son, John, removed to Liver- 
more, Maine. Both the Elliot family and the Severy 
family which later occupied the property are extinct by 
name in Millbury. 

Like many of the best farm houses of its time, the old 
house is dominated by a large central chimney, is two 
stories in height, and so placed as to command a beautiful 
prospect over the valleys towards Worcester, but its 
distinguishing feature is an unusually elegant cornice 
with brackets, which is returned at the corners upon the 
end walls with skill and fine effect. The interior well

THE BARTON - DAVIDSON HOUSE 



OLD HOUSES 361 

repays a visit, especially the ancient best room at the south- 
west corner of the ground floor which, with its panelled 
and wainscoted walls, timbered ceiling and quaint 
buffet built into one corner, is still a dignified apartment, 
even in its neglected and abandoned state, suggesting 
how charming it must have been when furnished in the 
olden style. This is, perhaps, the best example in town 
representing the traditions of local craftsmanship of the 
time when the carpenter made good joinery before the 
coming of machine tools destroyed his art. Although he 
might have had only a single book for his instruction, 
that was a good one and was principally an explanation 
of the classic orders, thus explaining why we discover in 
these old houses that their builders knew the value of 
such simple architectural virtues as simplicity, balance 
and good proportion in parts and in whole. Above all, 
there was an appreciation of good proportion which, 
about 1840, almost became a lost art. Many old Mill- 
bury doorways show that their makers did possess that 
understanding. 

Mr. Wm. J. Gilson has built a new house a few rods 
west of the old one and now occupies the modern one and 
works the farm. 

Freeland-Goffe-Garfield House 
The residence of Andrew P. Garfield, facing the old 
common, is a fine old building. This house is reputed 
to have been built by Dr. Freeland in 1772. It has dis- 
tinction in the small sized old window panes that are 
undisturbed in the ell part of the house. In 1872, the 
building was remodelled in the interior. Within are 
preserved many house utensils of early New England. 
It was the home of the Rev. Joseph Goffe, the best known 
old-time minister of the First Church of Millbury. Here 
"Priest Goffe," as he was called, for many years produced 
those sermons that stirred his hearers in the long ago. 
The old mansion has witnessed many stirring scenes in 



362 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

times past, but the old soldiers have vanished from the 
training ground in front, the church building has been 
removed to Bramanville, the old still-house went in 
flames, and the old settlers, one by one, have passed away. 

Fuller-Trask-Davidson House 
Probably the oldest (1742) of the houses still standing 
in town is that of Mr. Henry W. Davidson, at West 
Millbury. It is two-stories high and the roof has a long 
slope on the rear side. The old building, a relic of pre- 
Revolutionary times and an interesting memento of the 
early days of Sutton and Millbury, is still a substantial 
structure. Pleasantly situated on high ground it com- 
mands a good view of West Millbury and the surrounding 
country. A short distance south may be seen the old 
mansion of Col. Jonathan Holman, a son-in-law of Cap- 
tain Trask. To the southeast may be seen Potter Hill, 
not far from which is the site of the home of John David- 
son, an early ancestor. In this family were one Colonial 
and two Revolutionary soldiers. 

We are indebted to Mr. Walter Davidson, secretary 
of the Worcester Society of Antiquity, for the following 
facts relating to the old homestead and the land about it. 
"The land was sold to Jonathan Fuller, by Nathan 
Kenney, April 6, 1742, for three hundred seventy pounds. 
Forty-eight acres being the amount. May 3, 1742, 
Jonathan Fuller sold to Samuel Trask (b. 1721, a nephew 
of Mrs. Jonathan Fuller), 'who has lived with me from 
infancy and whom I have adopted' one half of his farm, 
and the other half to be his at the death of said Fuller 
and wife, forty-eight acres and buildings, the consider- 
ations being tender love and regard and five shillings. 
Capt. Samuel Trask added parts to the farm as follows: 
from Wm. Fiske — June 6, 1742; also in 1747; from Tim- 
othy Carter, Sept. 23, 1748; from Jonathan Kenney, 
Dec. 13, 1752; from Amos Chase, April 20, 1762; from 
G. Gould, Oct. 4, 1763. The original barn was built in 



OLD HOUSES 363 

1761, and was in use for one hundred and fifty years." 
To the building mentioned by Mr. Fuller, in 1742, an 
addition was made a short time afterwards. Over the 
front door appears the date, 1743. On the death of 
Samuel Trask, March 7, 1790, the property was inherited 
by his son Jonathan. 

Senator George F. Hoar took a great interest in this 
old mansion and some years ago he paid a visit to the 
house, examining the old structure. 

Col. Jonathan Holman House, West Millbury 

Col. Jonathan Holman, a large real estate owner, pos- 
sessed about three thousand acres. The following deed 
shows the amount of land on the Holman homestead 
where Colonel Holman built the mansion house, in 1812- 
13, and it also locates some of our early settlers of West 
Millbury: 

11 1758, March 14, Solomon Holman of Sutton, Deeded to Jona- 
than Holman the following: —

364 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

This place was occupied in 1915 by Mr. John W. Pierce. 
The house is a large, commodious structure representative 
of the wealthy and influential New Englander of early 
days. 

Jacobs-McGrath House, West Millbury 

This old building was, many years ago, the home of 
Deacon Elisha Jacobs, whose daughter was married to 
Sewall Brown, once a well-known citizen of the town. 
Sixty years ago the place was in the possession of Jedediah 
Bugbee. Next, it was owned by Patrick McGrath, father 
of the present occupant. The road at present ends here, 
but formerly it continued on by the home of Stephen 
Stockwell. On an old road, which formerly ran north 
from the home of the first Jonathan Waters, there once 
lived Timothy Allen, who is said to have been the Nimrod 
of this region. He once had a difficulty with the occupant 
of this Elisha Jacobs place and determined to get his 
revenge. A barrel of cider had been left exposed in the 
yard, whereupon Allen, early one morning, took a position 
where he could get a good sight of it, and he shot the spigot- 
hole so that the contents were released. When the 
owner went to remove his cider to the cellar, he found 
that the barrel was empty and, although he was puzzled 
for some time to know what had become of his beverage, 
ere long the bullet-hole was found and the mystery was 
solved. Tim had his revenge. 

Elias Lovell House 

The Elias Lovell house was built on the usual lines of 
the country home of the past century with the addition 
of an ell. This is situated opposite the reservoir on 
Burbank hill near the Millbury-Sutton boundary. It is 
the birthplace of Mr. Russell B. Lovell, the nonogenarian. 
Until recently the property was owned by David Ring 
who married one of the family. 



old houses 365 

Mansfield-Hall-Balcom House 

The old house, owned by the heirs of Willard Balcom, 
is situated in West Millbury on the road leading to Auburn 
and Oxford. It is a two-story structure with a hip-roof 
and an outside wall of brick, one tier thick. The main 
building remains as it was originally built. The place was 
held by Thaddeus Hall previous to the Civil War. Thus 
it was the home of Orson Hall, his son, who, at the time 
of the capture of New Orleans by the Union forces in 
1862, was the proprietor of the St. Charles Hotel in that 
city. 

Marble-Waters-Hairyes House, West Millbury 

This house, one of the oldest dwellings in town, was 
originally the residence of Deacon Solomon Marble who 
came here from the south part of the town (Sutton) 
previous to 1797. It is an old landmark. The place 
later came into the hands of 'Squire Simeon Waters from 
whom it descended to his son, Simeon Sylvester Waters, 
father of Lyman S. Waters. A later owner was Mr. 
Charles Buckley from whom it passed to Mr. Thomas 
Windle, who made extensive alterations on the buildings. 
The house took fire in the fall of 1913, but it was repaired. 
The property is now owned by Mr. Henry Glover. 

Deacon March Place, Bramanville 

The house and farm situated on the northwestern side 
of the old road that led to West Millbury, i. e., on the 
southeastern side of Brierly Pond, and one of the old 
landmarks of Bramanville, is owned by Mr. William E. 
Home, but was formerly occupied by Deacons Tyrus 
and David March. From an old deed (Dec. 19, 1806) 
we learn that Simeon Waters, previous to his purchase 
of the Dea. Solomon Marble farm, at West Millbury, 
from Joel Marble, was the owner of this March Place, 
purchasing it from Ebenezer Sibley. Other parties 



366 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

mentioned in this deed whose land adjoined were Col. 
Caleb Burbank, Carter and David Elliot, Abigail Sibley 
and Dr. Amasa Braman. From an old plan in possession 
of Lyman S. Waters, a grandson of 'Squire Simeon, one 
may see the course of the old road, now discontinued, 
which formerly ran on the West Shore of Brierly's Pond. 
Abigail Sibley, single, deeded land to Simeon Waters near 
his farm. 

Marcy House 

Just above the mill of John S. Rich, toward the old 
common, there is an old two-story house, which was once 
the home of Amos Singletary, a basket-maker, and a 
descendant of that family who early located here. He 
is not, however, the Amos Singletary who had the honor 
of being a member of the Provincial Congress. Here 
also once lived the Dwinnels. Still later, this house was 
occupied by Jeremiah Marcy, a cousin of Wm. L. Marcy, 
who was a United States Senator, Governor of New York, 
1832-1838, and an important United States official in 
1853. 

Pierce House, West Millbury 
Town Farm, 1835-1913 

This house and farm is the home of the Pierce family 
for Dr. Ebenezer Pierce of the Woburn branch of the 
family settled here. The farm is located but a short dis- 
tance from the home of George I. Stowe, on the road 
leading to Auburn. The house was the home and office 
of the first Town Clerk of Millbury, 'Squire Aaron Pierce. 
Although at present this place seems to be too far removed 
to serve as the town clerk's office, at that time the 
Old Common was the center of the town. From the 
annals of the town, from old deeds and from other docu- 
ments, we learn that the town clerk of the early days 
was influential in private as well as in public affairs. 
'Squire Pierce was one of the old-school gentlemen and 



OLD HOUSES 



367 



highly respected. Like 'Squire Simeon Waters, and 
'Squire Ephraim Goulding, he was frequently consulted 
by the early citizens. The old house is two stories in 
height and sits a little back from the road. It has 
sheltered many older citizens who have passed through 
misfortunes and mishaps in life's struggles, and given 
them a haven of rest, free from turmoil and strife. It 
is related of one citizen, who for a time found a home 
here, that he one day disappeared, and was sought in 
vain. He was a man of good address, with good clothes, 
and had a considerable knowledge of law. One bright 
morning a fine barouche drove up to the door of the farm 
house and from it came the lost inmate of the farm. 
After securing his few belongings, he jumped into his 
equipage, waved his hand and disappeared for all time, 
so far as his residence here was concerned. He had found 
a wealthy client in another town, who was glad to get 
his legal services at a moderate price. We withhold his 
name but in days gone by it was a power here. 

Small-Stowe Farm, West Millbury 
Stephen Small, a Colonial soldier, was the original 
settler on the farm now occupied by G. Burton Stowe. 
This extends from the West Millbury Cemetery to the 
shore of Ramshorn Pond and it is noted for its production 
of hay, fruit, and vegetables. Capt. Samuel Small, a 
son of Stephen, was in the Revolutionary war. Aaron 
Small, a highly respected member of this family, who spent 
his life on the farm and for many years had extensive 
cider and vinegar works, was father of the late Samuel 
A. Small, one of the best-known citizens. From the 
labor of this family of Smalls fine orchards were developed 
which are still in a high state of production and are prob- 
ably the largest apple orchards in town. From its very 
earliest settlement the farm remained in that family till 
a few years ago, when it was bought by Mr. G. B. Stowe, 
who has improved the property. 



368 history of millbury 

Rufus Stockwell House 

This house, situated on Martin Street near the corner 
of North Main, is one of the solid old structures which 
no doubt antedates the beginning of the town, and it is 
well preserved. It contains a buffet cupboard in a lower 
front room extending from the floor to the ceiling. A 
fireplace is still in existence, as of old. Wide timbers 
extend through the center of the ceiling in the rooms, as 
they commonly did in houses built a century or more ago. 
An old style stairway is still standing which leads to the 
story above. The interior of the old building suggests 
people and days long since passed away. The property 
is now occupied by descendants of Rufus Stockwell. 

House of William H. Stockwell, West Millbury 

This homestead is of great age, and was the home of 
several in the Pierce family, descendants of the deacon, 
Dr. Ebenezer Pierce. The farm adjoins that of Colonel 
Holman and that of Stephen Small. It is on the North 
Oxford road and stands as a landmark of early days. 
Members of this early household became connected with 
the Waters and Burbank families by marriage. Capt. 
Abijah Burbank's second wife, Mary, was the daughter 
of Deacon Ebenezer Pierce. The house later came into 
the hands of Robert Jones, who was a well-known citizen, 
held town office, and was deeply interested in religious 
matters and other good enterprises. He married one of 
the Pierce family. From Mr. Jones, the place passed into 
the hands of Mr. S. Stockwell, who married Lucine, a 
daughter of Mr. Jones. 

Tainter-Stowe House, West Millbury 

The George I. Stowe house is one of the oldest in town, 
and was built about the time that the Henry W. Davidson 
house was erected. It is known that the structure has 
withstood the storms of a century and three-fourths, and 



OLD HOUSES 369 

it is still in good condition. This was the early home of 
the well-known Tainter family which figured largely in 
our early history, as we learn from the church and Rev- 
olutionary records which give us the names of many of 
this name. Mr. Stowe, the present owner of the property, 
has made great improvements on the farm. The farm 
is suited to general crops, especially cabbages, corn and 
apples. In a walnut grove a short distance from the 
house, there is an excellent spring of water from which 
the Indian of early days undoubtedly supplied himself, 
for numerous relics, such as arrow heads, have been found 
nearby. The present owner has utilized the spring for 
a system of water supply. 

The Rufus Wait House 
This old place on the road to Bucks Village, just beyond 
the Tourtellotte House, or "The Lower Tavern," was 
once the home of the well-known Wait family. Two at 
least of these were soldiers of the Revolution, whose 
graves in the County-bridge cemetery are so marked. 
Rufus Wait resided here during the continuance of the 
Blackstone Canal and was in charge of two of the canal- 
locks which were then situated near this place, as we 
learn from his old account book (now in the possession 
of Mr. George F. Chase). The old building is two and 
one-half stories in height, similar to many of the old 
homes of Revolutionary days and is well-preserved. In 
front of the house still stands the old horse-block, for- 
merly used by members of this family in mounting their 
steeds for a ride to mill, meeting, or elsewhere. Near the 
well is an old Indian relic, a mortar about ten inches in 
diameter. The house is at present occupied by members 
of the Thomas Hill family. 

Nelson Walling House 
The Walling house, one of the finest residences in town, 
is situated on spacious grounds bounded by Miles, Main 



24 



370 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

and Canal streets. Between the latter street and this 
mansion there were several locks of the Blackstone Canal. 
On this location originally stood the home of the March 
family, and the place was in their hands for a long time. 
The present house was built by Clough R. Miles, Esq., 
who was an important figure in town in his day, for the 
old justices of the peace often held court here, with the 
'squire presiding. 'Squire Mills of Sutton also frequently 
sat on the bench here in the preliminary trial of cases. 
These justices, together with 'squire Randall, the old- 
time lawyer, expounded much law here, in the days now 
passed away. 

Mr. Nelson Walling extensively remodelled the house 
and graded the grounds which previously showed traces 
of the excavations made for the canal locks. 

The Waters-Sabine-Carter House 
Previous to building this house, Asa Waters, the first, 
lived on the Bramanville main street, at the east corner 
of the lane leading to his factory (Rhodes St.). The elm 
planted in front of this earlier house attained a great size 
and was not cut down until after 1900. 

The date when the house on Elmwood Street was built 
is uncertain; but was not earlier than 1771 and not later 
than 1793. It was then the stateliest and most comfort- 
able residence in the town. A typical New England 
village dwelling of the best class, the house had four 
square rooms on each floor of the main house, besides a 
capacious ell. A huge chimney arose from its center. 
The front door faced the street and opened upon a little 
square fenced garden, such as give so much diginity to 
some of the houses that have survived from that period 
in Salem and Newburyport. In 1805, when Asa Waters 
had reached the age of sixty-three years, he deeded half 
the house and grounds to his son Samuel, then living in 
a smaller house about 100 rods to the northeast, remains 
of which can still be seen in the field. At the same date 



OLD HOUSES 371 

as that deed, Asa Waters made his will, bequeathing to 
the son Samuel the remaining half of the house, but mak- 
ing the reservations, common in old wills, in favor of the 
widow, Samuel's mother, so that the latter should have a 
comfortable home in the house, where her son should 
continue to furnish his mother with the comforts and 
luxuries to which she had been accustomed. Shortly- 
after this, Samuel and his family removed to the mansion 
to live with his father who survived until 1813, and there 
Samuel lived until his own death in 1858, and there Sam- 
uel's widow continued to live until her decease in 1870. 
Asa Waters, his children, his grandchildren and great- 
grandchildren occupied the house for about one hundred 
years. 

Elder Samuel Waters, as he was called, was deeply- 
interested in the welfare of the church of which he was 
elder, holding his time and his means ever at its service. 
He was active as a manufacturer and, about 1828, built 
the stone mill on the site or just above the site where his 
father had established the first armory on the Singletary. 
The stone structure is now the Holbrook Mills (p. 258). 
He is remembered as a stirring man, intensely interested 
in whatever subject commanded his attention. His farm 
was a fine one. On the death of Samuel, the property 
passed to his son-in-law, Harvey Goodell, and then to 
another son-in-law, George Sabine, who lived there many 
years. Henry W. Carter acquired the property in 1883 
and has made alterations and extensive improvements. 

Approached from the east the house seems to stand 
at the focus of a noble amphitheatre of hills, with out- 
buildings and barns stretching to an imposing length. 
They stand on a terracing of masonry walls, below which 
runs a clear brook. Altogether it looks the ideal home of 
the comfortable farmer. Our illustration has caught the 
charm of the place. Its windows overlook a prospect 
of broad meadows towards the river, above which rise 
the trees, roofs and towers of the center village. 



372 history of millbury 

Wellman-Carter House, Old Common 

The Wellman-Carter house was built, about 1747, for 
the Rev. James Wellman, the first North Parish minister. 
The house is a large plain wooden building with an ell. 
The old structure stands on the corner of the road leading 
to Auburn. Here resided Dr. Timothy Longley and 
Cyrus Faulkner, worthies of old days. The house and 
farm many years ago came into the hands of Mr. Rufus 
Carter, who lived here for many years. 

Waters- Wood-Soule Farm, West Millbury 

The Soule place, one of the largest and best farms in 
the town, was originally settled by Nathaniel Waters, a 
brother of Jonathan, who settled the C. R. Harris farm 
adjoining. Portions of the original buildings with the 
water privilege were sold to Solomon Holman by Nathaniel 
Waters, but some land was later added by John G. Wood. 
From the Waters family the farm passed to Capt. Amasa 
Wood and for nearly one hundred years it remained in 
the Wood family. As described in the sketch of Captain 
Wood, boot and shoe manufacturing was once carried 
on here. The old factory building and the country store 
kept by the Wood family have been moved back from 
their original location. About 1870 this farm, then 
owned by Mr. John G. Wood, was the most noted stock 
farm in the county. 

Old Hotels 

The old hotel, known as "The Lower Tavern," has 
stood for many years and was a place well known through- 
out the county. It has had many proprietors. During 
the time it was occupied by Charles A. Tourtellotte, the 
hall in the old building was a popular place for dancing- 
parties. During the time of Mr. Tourtellotte's occupancy 
he was the owner of the once famous "Tom Hyer", a 
horse that in his prime could trot a mile in 2:37. "Old 



OLD HOUSES 373 

Tom" appeared almost annually at the Worcester County 
horse and cattle show, and nearly always won his race. 
The place was famous for its bird-suppers. Later, land- 
lord John White, a son-in-law of Mr. Tourtellotte, 
marrying his oldest daughter, kept the hotel for over 
twenty years and was the most popular hotel keeper in 
town. He was a crack shot, and always had a larder full 
of game-birds. 

The old Hotel kept by Simon Farnsworth, and later by 
Elijah A. Johnson, stood on the site of the present Town 
Hall. It was destroyed by fire and its ruins were 
unsightly for a long time. One old barn, which escaped 
the flames, was used for many years as a livery stable. 

The Marble House now fronting the old common, once 
occupied by Dr. Braman and Ebenezer Chapman, was 
at one time used as a hotel. 

The house now occupied by Mr. Calstrom, and situated 
on the short road running from the Old Common, was 
occupied some years ago by Capt. Nymphas Longley 
and Isaac Redding, and in early days was known as 
Buck's Tavern. Nahum W. Chamberlain once owned the 
property. 

The Central House was located over Dunton and 
Winter's store. 

The list of the old hotel keepers of Millbury includes 
the following: Dr. Amasa Braman, Dr. William M. 
Benedict, Landlor Longley, Elijah A. Johnson, Jesse 
Pierce (who ran the American Temperance House on 
the present location of the Sweetser house), Simon Farns- 
worth, Elias Lovell, Charles A. Tourtellotte, John M. 
White, McAleer Bros., Timothy Cotter, Charles T. Pratt, 
Edgar R. Bartlett. 

Present Hotels 

The St. Charles Hotel, Bramanville, said to have been 
built by Dr. Benedict, is kept by Wm. E. Bartlett, son 



374 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

of the former proprietor. The place was once the resi- 
dence of Dana A. Braman, and later came into the hands 
of Elias Lovell, who made some additions to the building 
and used it for a hotel. In front of this hotel is the ter- 
minus of the electric car line at Bramanville, so that it 
is easy of access from Worcester. 

The Belfont House, formerly kept by Mrs. B. Branagan, 
is located at Millbury Center. 



PROFESSIONAL AND LITERARY 375 



CHAPTER XXVII 
PROFESSIONAL AND LITERARY 

The first male child born within the present limits of 
the town of Millbury was a lawyer, for Amos Singletary, 
during the period which included the Revolutionary War, 
attended to legal matters and held the position of Justice 
of the Peace and Quorum, an office that was of consider- 
able importance and local dignity. Aaron Pierce, Esq., 
the first Town Clerk, was a justice of the peace, Josiah 
Prentice, Esq., Josiah Stiles, Esq., and Thomas Pope, Esq., 
who lived at the Old Common, practised law at the time 
when Millbury became a separate town. 

At a later date Gen. William S. Lincoln, Alexander 
Hamilton, Esq., and Edward W. Lincoln, Esq., all of 
whom came from Worcester, practised law in Millbury. 
Abraham G. Randall, Esq., George W. Livermore, Esq., 
Clough R. Miles, Esq., and George A. Flagg, Esq., resided 
in Millbury for some time and practised law. Asa H. 
Waters, Esq., practised law a short time before devoting 
his time to manufacturing. John Hopkins, Esq., a jus- 
tice of the Superior Court, was a resident of Millbury. 
(See personal sketch.) 

Formerly, criminal and civil cases were tried before the 
local justices of the peace and Millbury was the scene of 
many such trials, but with the decline of the power placed 
in the hands of these officials the number of local attorneys 
became less. 

Henry W. Aiken, Esq., assistant clerk of courts in 
Worcester County, was for many years a member of the 
law firm of Potter and Aiken, with an office in Worcester. 
Mr. Aiken has also maintained an office in Millbury. 
Thomas H. Sullivan, Esq., a native and resident of Mill- 
bury, maintains a law office in Worcester. He has 



376 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

frequently been counsel for the town. Charles B. Perry, 
Esq., bail commissioner, is a resident of Millbury, but 
maintains a law office in Worcester in company with the 
Hon. John Alden Thayer, ex-Congressman, in the firm 
of Thayer and Perry. Mr. Perry has for some years 
served the town as moderator at its annual meetings and 
he is recognized as an authority on the laws and the rules 
of proceedure governing town meetings. Herbert S. 
Hopkins, Esq., son of Judge Hopkins, maintained a law 
office in Farnsworth Block. Thomas L. Brown, Esq., 
was once a lawyer in town, but he has lately maintained 
an office in Worcester. John W. Sheehan, Esq., who was 
born in Millbury and for some years lived here, has main- 
tained a law office in Worcester in the firm of Sheehan 
and Cutting. Archer R. Greeley, Esq., who was born at 
West Millbury and spent his boyhood and youth in this 
town, has been for a number of years a lawyer in Webster. 

The medical profession was represented among the 
very first settlers within the present bounds of Millbury 
for in the Sutton Proprietors' Book we learn that Dr. 
Boylstone possessed land near Dorothy Pond and also 
near the Old Common. In 1740, Dr. Ebenezer Pierce, 
the progenitor of the West Millbury Pierce family, 
settled on Grass Hill, West Millbury. A friend de- 
scribed him as a man of "unexceptionable character." 
He was a deacon in the North Parish Church. 

Among the physicians who were practicing during the 
early days after the establishment of Millbury as a sep- 
arate town was Dr. William M. Benedict, who was also 
prominent in business and public affairs. With him was 
associated in business Dr. Amasa Braman, after whom 
Bramanville was named. Dr. Azor Phelps at the time 
lived at the Old Common. Dr. Phineas Longley also 
lived at the Old Common in the house built by the Rev. 
James Wellman. 

At a later period Dr. Leonard Spaulding was a success- 
ful practitioner. (See sketch.) Dr. Asa Andrews was 



PROFESSIONAL AND LITERARY 377 

a young and successful practitioner who in attending a 
patient contracted blood-poisoning which caused his 
death. Dr. Joseph E. Corlew was a successful physician 
and practiced here for a number of years. 

Dr. William Bowen Moore, Dr. George C. Webber, 
Dr. William H. Lincoln and Dr. Robert Booth all are 
noticed in the individual sketches. 

In 1853, Dr. Henry G. Davis, a specialist on curvatures 
and club feet, was located in town. Dr. B. F. Greene, 
who was also a local preacher, practiced for a few years. 
Mr. Maurice Welsh, who came from Ireland was a 
"bone-setter." 

Dr. Jacob R. Lincoln, son of Dr. William H. Lincoln, 
succeeded to his father's practice. In 1888, he began the 
practice of medicine in Millbury and he has pursued this 
with success, for many years being the school physician. 
Dr. Albert G. Hurd began his career as a physician when 
he commenced practicing in Millbury in 1895. He has 
continued successfully as a general practitioner. In the 
same year Dr. Charles A. Church began the practice of 
medicine in town, coming from New York state, where 
he had practiced previously. His career has been a 
successful one. Dr. Gustave Desy, although having a 
large number of patients among the French-speaking 
people, yet has a considerable practice among people 
of other tongues. Dr. Arthur A. Brown, a Millbury boy, 
began the practice of medicine a few years ago in Fall 
River, but after six months he moved to this town where 
he has taken up an extensive practice. He has succeeded 
to an extent to the practice of the late Dr. Booth, espe- 
cially with some of the fraternal organizations. 

Dr. David March, who was born in 1785, and Dr. 
Alden March, who was born in 1795 and later became 
president of the American Medical Association, were 
reared on the March farm that is situated on the road to 
North Grafton. (See Genealogy.) 



378 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Dr. George A. Jordan, Dr. Cyrus F. Carter, Dr. Henry 
W. Cronin and Dr. Thomas H. Cronin were Millbury 
boys, but have practised elsewhere. 

In the homeopathic school of medicine Dr. Southgate 
was an early practitioner. Later homeopathic physicians 
were Dr. Underwood and Dr. H. A. Clarke who lived in 
Millbury in 1871. He died young and was succeeded 
by Dr. C. C. Slocomb, who came to this town from Rut- 
land, but unfortunately he was stricken in his prime with 
paralysis from which he never fully recovered. He, in 
turn, was succeeded by his son, Dr. George A. Slocomb, 
who had the unique distinction of serving, in 1888, at the 
birth of quadruplets, all girls, children of Mr. and Mrs. 
Frank DeGroote. Although Dr. Slocomb has moved to 
Worcester he continues to practice in Millbury. 

Notice has been made of the clergymen of Millbury 
in the accounts which have been given of the various 
churches: (See chapter on Churches; also individual 
sketches of the Rev. Joseph Goffe, Bishop Thomas J. 
Shahan, D. D., and the Rev. George A. Putnam). 

Among the writers that have lived in Millbury may 
be mentioned some members of the March family whose 
ancestral home stood at the junction of Main, Miles and 
Canal streets, although a branch of the family later resided 
on the road to North Grafton. 

Daniel March, D. D., a Congregational clergyman, was 
born in Millbury, July 21, 1816. He was a pupil at the 
old Millbury Academy, was graduated from Yale College 
in 1840 and from Yale Divinity School a few years later. 
He was given the degree of A. M. by Yale and the degree 
of D. D. by Western University of Pennsylvania. He 
held pastorates in Nashua, N. H., in Philadelphia, and 
in Woburn, Mass. Dr. March was author of the following 
works : ' ' Night Scenes in the Bible, " " Walks and Homes 
of Jesus," "Our Father's House," "Home Life in the 
Bible," "The First Khedive," "Morning Light in Many 
Lands," "From Dark to Dawn." 



PROFESSIONAL AND LITERARY 379 

Dr. Alden March, M. D., was born at the March place 
which stood on the road to North Grafton, in 1795. He 
was graduated from Brown College. He resided at 
Albany, N. Y. He derived literary distinction from 
numerous lectures and papers on medical and surgical 
science. He was president of the American Medical 
Association and was a founder of the Albany Medical 
College and of the Albany City Hospital. He died at 
Albany in 1869. 

Prof. Francis A. March, who was born in Millbury, 
resided later at Easton, Penn. He was a member of the 
Pennsylvania Commission on Amended Orthography. 
(See Genealogy.) 

It has been claimed that Mr. Manton Marble, the 
distinguished journalist of New York City and at one 
time the editor of "The New York World," was born in 
Millbury, but the town records do not bear this out. 
However, his grandfather, Deacon Solomon Marble, 
owned the Simeon Waters farm at West Millbury and 
here in his early days Manton Marble was well known. 
He also frequently visited his relatives in the town during 
his active career in journalism. His literary productions 
were numerous, among them being an article on "English 
and Scottish Ballads," which was published in the 
"Knickerbocker Magazine" in July, 1859. 

Other Millbury men who have made contributions to 
literature are Col. Asa H. Waters, Bishop Willard F. 
Mallalieu, Bishop Thomas J. Shahan, The Rev. George 
A. Putnam, and Mr. John C. Crane, but for an account 
of the writings of these men we refer the reader to the 
Individual Sketches. 

But one bound book has come to light bearing a Mill- 
bury imprint, the title page of which reads as follows: 

"The Destruction of Jerusalem — an absolute and 
irresistible Proof of the Divine origin of Christianity — 
Including a narrative of the Calamities which befel the 
Jews so far as they tend to verify Our Lord's Predictions 



380 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

relative to that event — with a Brief description of the 
City and Temple— Millbury, Mass. Printed and pub- 
lished by B. T. Abbro, 1833." 

Mr. Albro's printing office was located on Elmwood 
Street, in the house formerly owned by Tyler Waters, 
and also known as the "Penniman" house. The book has 
for a frontispiece a picture of the Temple. It was bound 
in colored boards, with leather back. In the year pre- 
vious to issuing the above, Mr. Albro printed the 
"confession of Faith of the Presbyterian Church in 
Millbury," which is a leaflet of eight pages. 

In the same year that the history of Jerusalem was 
issued by Mr. Albro, a pamphlet of twenty-four pages 
appeared with the title: "Election to Life Eternal — A 
prize of inestimable worth, which everyone, by seasonable 
and proper attention may make his own — By Samuel 
Baker — Republished for Erastus Spaulding— Millbury 
(Mass.). Printed by Benjamin T. Albro, 1833." A 
pamphlet is also preserved with the following title: 
"The Laws of Millbury Academy, in Millbury, Massa- 
chusetts — Enacted by The Board of Trustees — Millbury. 
Printed by Benjamin T. Albro— 1833— " 

A leather-bound copy has been preserved entitled, 
"The Psalms of David, imitated in the language of The 
New Testament and applied to the Christian State and 
Worship— By Isaac Watts, D. D. " This book was issued 
for a Millbury man as we read, — " Dated — Sutton (Mass.) 
Printed by Sewall Goodridge For Caleb Burbank, sold by 
him at wholesale and retail — 1808 — " 

A large board-covered book, illustrated, with directions 
for youth, was brought out, evidently for school use and, 
in place of the usual imprint, "Sold by Caleb Burbank, 
Millbury, (Mass.)" is printed. 

In 1831, a newspaper was printed called "The Millbury 
Plebian," a small sheet, whose existence was of short 
duration. Later we find "The Millbury Chronicle." 



PROFESSIONAL AND LITERARY 381 

Under the title is found the following: "Vol. 1 — No. 6 — 
Published every Friday morning, by Fred W. Fletcher, 
Armory Block, Main Street, Millbury" — In this number 
(July 6, 1877) is found an account of the Studlefunk 
Parade of July 4th in that year. 

"The Millbury Journal" was established, in 1894, by 
Frederick H. Greenwood who was editor and proprietor. 
It was continued by him until 1906, when he sold to 
Charles A. Kirtland, of Deep River, Conn, who owned it 
but a few months. 

A small sheet was issued called "The Blackstone Valley 
Dispatch," for a brief period. The first number dated 
Nov. 2, 1906, contained a number of news items from 
towns outside of Millbury. The paper was published 
in Farnsworth Block and was edited by A. R. Evans. 

In May, 1907, The Blackstone Valley Publishing Co. 
bought all the interest in these papers, and since Jan. 1, 
1908, Mr. Charles F. Holman has been proprietor, pub- 
lisher and editor. Mr. Holman has had extensive experi- 
ence in newspaper work, having been long connected 
with "The Worcester Telegram" and the "Worcester 
Evening Gazette." He was a former postmaster in 
Millbury, is an assessor of the town, a deacon in the 
Second Congregational Church, and has filled many 
important positions both in town affairs and in local 
societies. He is a descendant of Lieut. David Holman, 
a Revolutionary patriot; also the son of a veteran of the 
Civil War, Lieut. Rodney Holman (see Genealogy). 
In connection with publishing the Journal, Mr. Holman 
has a printing office, from which have been issued town 
documents and other printed matter of local interest. 
Mr. Holman first issued a design for stationery, to be 
used in calling attention to the Centennial of 1913. 

Public Library 
For some years previous to 1864, there was at Millbury 
Centre an organization called "The Society of Social 



382 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Friends," composed of the teachers and pupils of Millbury 
Academy, which had a library consisting (with what had 
come to them from the Agricultural and Atheneum libra- 
ries) of about six hundred volumes. April 7, 1864, a 
meeting of this society was held at The Millbury Bank, 
at which it was voted: "That the library belonging to 
the Society be offered to the Town, for the purpose of 
founding a free public Library. (Signed) William H. 
Harrington, Silas Dunton, D. B. Chase, committee of 
Society of Social Friends." April 11th of the same year, 
the town "voted to accept the library from the society," 
and also chose a board of trustees, consisting of David 
Atwood, Osgood H. Waters, and Hosea Crane. The chair- 
man of the school committee and the principal of the High 
School were members ex-officio. 

H. E. Rockwell, postmaster, was librarian. The 
library was later moved to the High School building and 
the principal was placed in charge. After a time it was 
established in the store of Henry A. Aiken, who was 
librarian until 1872, when the library was moved to Ma- 
sonic Block, Main Street, where Mrs. Abby S. Freeman 
was librarian. 

After the building of the Town Hall the books were 
placed in the present room. Mr. Henry T. Maxwell 
followed Mrs. Freeman as librarian. The present libra- 
rian is Miss Carolyn C. Waters, daughter of an original 
trustee. Miss Almyra B. Longley is assistant librarian. 
The first catalogue was issued in 1872, and a card cata- 
logue was made in 1900. 

The library room is pleasantly located on the lower 
floor of the Town House and is easy of access to its 
patrons. This is owing to the foresight of our late 
esteemed fellow-citizen, Judge John Hopkins, who, when 
the Town-House was building, recommended that the 
room now used as a library be set apart for that purpose. 
On the wall of the room are displayed the oil portraits of 
the godfather of Millbury, Gen. Caleb Burbank, and his

wife, gifts of the late Mrs. Gardner Burbank, of Fitchburg. 
Some years ago an offer was made by Mr. Carnegie, of a 
library building on certain conditions, which the town 
rejected. From the report of the Trustees for the year 
ending 1912, we learn that the library had been accessible 
for 231 days. The total circulation for the year was 
23,551. One hundred and sixty new works were added 
during the year, making the total number in the library 
a little over 9,200 volumes. The library is one of the 
foremost in the state among towns with similar resources. 
A work with the children of the town, consisting of talks 
on various subjects by competent persons, has been 
undertaken by the Woman's Club under the direction of 
the librarian, with good success. 

The largest donors to the library have been Mr. Calvin 
Barker, who left one thousand dollars; his sister, Lucy 
Barker, who bequeathed one hundred dollars; and Dea. 
Leonard Dwinell, who willed to the town, for library pur- 
poses, one hundred dollars. A recent gift of books was 
made by the Rev. J. F. Griffin. 

In 1915, Mr. Andrew Carnegie gave the town twelve 
thousand and five hundred dollars for the erection of a 
new Public Library Building and Miss Delia C. Torrey 
donated the land on which the building was erected. 

The trustees of the Public Library in 1915 were Mr. 
James W. Robertson, Mr. Edward F. Rice, and Dr. 
Albert G. Hurd.

INDEPENDENT SKETCHES: BIOGRAPHICAL 

Henry W. Carter 

Henry W. Carter, descendant of the Rev. Thomas Carter on 
his father's side and of the Rev. J. W. Campbell on his mother's 
side, is a native of Millbury, having been born in one of the historic 
localities, the Old Common. In his early manhood he was a 
school teacher and in this capacity influenced the town through 
his former pupils. For a period he undertook the study of med- 
icine but his preference was for farming. He has worked exten- 
sively as a contractor, having been one of the builders of the Wor- 
cester and Southbridge Electric Railway. His advice is often 
sought in appraising the value of property. 

Mr. Carter owns the farm formerly possessed by Elder Samuel 
Waters, one of the best in the town. He has improved the build- 
ings and equipment and brought the entire property to a high 
degree of productiveness and orderliness. The estate contains 
a variety of soil, and is adapted to a variety of products. 

More than fifty years ago Elder Waters established an irrigating 
system on this farm by taking water from the brook and conduct- 
ing it over parts of the land successfully. 

Mr. Carter has held the position of selectman for several years. 
He has been an overseer of the poor, superintendent of streets, 
assessor, and member of the finance committee, being for several 
years its chairman. He is a Republican in politics. His church 
affiliations are with the Second Congregational Church. He is a 
thirty-second degree Mason and a Past Grand in the Odd Fellows. 
Since April 1, 1892, he has been a trustee, since April 2, 1897, a 
member of the investment committee of the Millbury Savings 
Bank and, in 1914, he was chosen as one of its vice-presidents. 

Mr. Carter has travelled extensively in this country as well as 
in Mexico and Cuba.

George F. Chase 

George F. Chase is a member of that ancient family whose 
immigrant ancestor was Aquila Chase, of Newbury, Mass. His 
descendants early appeared at Sutton and have occupied prom- 
inent places in the history of Sutton and Millbury, as well as of 
other towns. From the inscriptions found in the old cemeteries 
of Millbury, we learn that members of this family bore a part in 
the Revolutionary struggle. For years Mr. Chase was one of the 
strongest advocates for a water-supply in the town, even though 
at its beginning the project was unpopular, but he had the satis- 
faction, at last, of receiving the commendation of those who had 
opposed him. He first called the attention of the citizens to the 
need of a history of Millbury, and when, in 1905, the matter was 
brought up by him in town meeting, it received favorable atten- 
tion, so that steps were taken to make the history a reality. He 
was chairman of the committee in charge of this work, but because 
of ill health gave it up in 1914, retaining his place on the committee. 

Mr. Chase is a contractor and builder of many years' experience, 
and secures a large share of the patronage of the citizens. 

Mr. Chase has served on the board of selectmen several times. 
He was elected to the State Legislature of 1896, serving on the 
committee on drainage, and again elected to the legislature of 
1897, serving as House chairman of the same committee. He is a 
Past Grand of Morning Star Lodge of Odd Fellows; a member of 
Olive Branch Lodge of Masons; and Past District Deputy of the 
Royal Arcanum. He is a member of the Second Congregational 
Church in which he has served on the Standing Committee and as 
Superintendent of the Sunday School, for many years. He has 
served as president of the Worcester South District of Sunday 
Schools.

John C. Crane 

John Calvin Crane received his education in the common and 
high schools of Grafton, and in the Academy at Lancaster, Mass. 
At the age of sixteen he was a correspondent of the Boston Post. 
He was later employed as a shoemaker at Grafton and at West 
Millbury. In 1858 he made a tour of Canada and the Great 
Lakes, visiting the Macinac and Green Bay Indians. He visited 
Prarie du Chien, where he first had a view of the "Father of 



25 



386 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Waters." Proceeding to St. Paul in this early period, he found 
himself enrolled among the Pioneers of Minnesota. At Richfield, 
Minnesota, Mr. Crane established a depot for the sale of boots 
to the settlers who came from a distance of twenty and thirty 
miles with wheat to exchange for footwear made in Massachu- 
setts. At that time the state was swarming with Indians. For 
a time Mr. Crane lived near the scenes depicted in Longfellow's 
Hiawatha, around the Laughing Minnehaha. Leaving his 
business in charge of a trustworthy friend, Mr. Crane pushed into 
the Indian country, hunting, fishing, and studying the ways and 
customs of the nomads of the great Northwest. He was reported 
to have been killed by them, and his friends around the Fort gave 
up all hope of ever seeing him again, but one day he appeared, 
sound and healthy, wearing on his face the real Indian tan. 

In 1859, Mr. Crane closed out his business in Minnesota. In 
Boston he learned the art of painting on glass, then much in vogue. 
He later returned to Millbury, and again entered the employ of 
A. Wood & Sons. 

Soon after 1880, Mr. Crane engaged in literary work, making 
researches in family history, uniting his historical sketches, mag- 
azine articles (among them being an article on the "Ponds of 
Worcester County"), biography, and poems, which had appeared 
in various periodicals and newspapers, sometimes under his own 
name, and at others under a nom de plume. His patrons in gene- 
alogical work include many distinguished people. During 1883 
and 1884, in various towns in the country, he lectured on tem- 
perance and other subjects. In 1885, he was licensed by the 
Millbury Baptist Church, of which he is a member, to preach the 
Gospel. 

In 1891, Mr. Crane became a member of the second expedition 
of Capt. Willard Glazier to the sources of the Mississippi River. 
This expedition was composed of eighteen white men and one 
Indian, and the result of the explorations was favorable to the 
claim put forth, in 1881, by Captain Glazier, i. e. that he had 
found the source of the Mississippi in a lake beyond Itasca. 
Mr. Crane has been, for many years, a persistent searcher for 
relics of the Indians. Among his specimens are implements of 
the Nipmucks, the Micmacs, and Narragansetts. 

Mr. Crane is the author of the following publications : " Colonel 
Thomas Gilbert, the leader of the New England Tories," "Jona-

than Holman, a Revolutionary Colonel," "Asa Holman Waters, 
Memorial," "Peter Whitney, and His History of Worcester Coun- 
ty," "Major-General Burbank, an Early Paper Maker," "The 
Nipmucks and Their Country," "George Sumner Memorial," 
"What Guns in King Philip's War," "History of Millbury in 
County History of 1889," "Champions of Freedom."

Damien Ducharme 

Damien Ducharme, one of the best-known citizens of French 
extraction, was born in Contrecour, Canada, in 1847. He was 
educated in the common schools of his native place and in an 
evening school of Millbury. He came to Millbury June 23, 18G5, 
when seventeen years of age, and began work as a chore-boy in the 
Cordis Mills for which he received five dollars a week. He after- 
wards became a loom-fixer, working here and in a cotton mill at 
Providence, R. I. From that place he went to Woonsocket and 
followed the same trade. In 1873, he returned to Millbury and 
entered the employ of Joseph Faneuf in a meat market at Braman- 
ville with whom he remained four years. Upon leaving that 
place, in company with Thomas York, he opened a bake-shop 
at Fall River. In June, 1879, he again returned to Millbury and 
opened a meat and provision store in the basement of the old 
Cunningham Block, under the firm name of York & Ducharme, 
at the same time continuing the bake-shop at Fall River, both 
places being under his management. In 1881, he bought out the 
interest of Mr. York and conducted the business alone. 

In 1888, Mr. Ducharme bought of the Emerson estate the land 
and buildings on North Main Street, occupied in part by the store 
of Warren Sweetser and the drug store of N. H. Sears. Some of 
the buildings were removed to the rear and some to Church street. 
In 1892, the brick block which is now partly occupied by Mr. 
Ducharme for his business was built. 

Mr. Ducharme is one of the largest property owners of the town, 
a man of sound judgment, and a good financier. For over twenty- 
five years he has served as trustee of the Millbury Savings Bank, 
and except for a few years at the beginning of his trusteeship, he 
has been a member of the board of investment. In 1914, he was 
elected as one of the vice-presidents of the bank. He has served 
the town in the capacity of selectman. 



388 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Silas Dunton 

Silas Dunton who is ninety-seven years of age is one of the best 
known citizens of the town. The family of Mr. Dunton dates 
back to Samuel Dunton, the New England ancestor, who is known 
to have lived at Reading, in 1644. Moses Dunton, father of Silas, 
was a blacksmith and moved here from Sturbridge. At one time 
he had a shop of his own, but later was employed in the gun-works 
of Asa Waters. As assistant to his father, Silas Dunton worked 
in the shop for a short time, but when still a youth he entered the 
employ of A. G. Stiles & Co., who owned a general store. As a 
young man three years were passed as a salesman at Louisville, 
Ky., in the boat and shoe business, in the employ of Capt. A.Wood. 
Leaving this occupation he became a clerk in the dry-goods store 
of Hardon & Hunt, of Worcester. Later, he worked for a short 
time in a clothing store at Boston, then for a short time he was a 
clerk in Millbury. His next position was in charge of a store 
owned by Benedict & Denney, at North Oxford. In 1848, he 
became a partner in the firm of Robbins & Dunton, at Millbury, 
continuing for three years, when he became the sole proprietor. 
In addition to a general store, located in Randall Block, Mr. Dun- 
ton, in company with Mr. Denney, added a drug-store, which 
was continued for a few years. Mr. Denney later withdrew, and 
Mr. Dunton took his son-in-law, James A. Morse, into partnership, 
continuing for some time, until the store was sold and went into 
the possession of Crane & Aldrich. (Rufus R. Crane and Samuel 
W. Aldrich.) 

Mr. Dunton, in company with other Millbury men, caught the 
oil-fever once raging in Canada, but, not meeting with success in 
this venture, he returned to Millbury and bought back his old 
business, continuing it under the name of Dunton & Morse. In 
1872, the firm of Dunton & Winter (Silas Dunton and Thomas 
A. Winter) was formed, which from that time to 1915 was contin- 
ued, carrying on an extensive trade in groceries and dry goods. 
Several years ago Mr. Dunton retired from active management 
and Mr. Winter has conducted the business. In 1915 Mr. Winter 
became sole proprietor. 

Mr. Dunton is a mason of high standing and, since 1850, has 
been a member of Olive Branch Lodge. In 1868, he was represen- 
tative to the General court. He is a man of a pleasant, genial

nature and his long life has been passed mostly in his native place. 
His great age covers almost the entire history of the town. 

(See Genealogy.) 

James H. Ferguson 

James H. Ferguson, son of John Ferguson, was born in Bristol, 
Rhode Island. He received his education in the schools of that 
town and spent his spare time on the farm. His trade of tinsmith 
and plumber was learned at Saundersville. In 1869, he came to 
Millbury where he has since resided. In 1886, he was a member 
of the firm of Crane & Ferguson, hardware dealers. Later in 
Odd Fellows' Block he carried on the hardware business together 
with the pursuit of his trade in his own name. In 1914, he moved 
to the Arcade building. 

For years Mr. Ferguson has been an active politician in the 
Republican party, being frequently delegated to attend its con- 
ventions and he has many times held the position of chairman of 
the Republican town committee. He has served on the Board 
of Selectmen and is at present secretary of the Board of Health. 
In 1894, he was chosen to represent this district in the State 
Legislature and he was again elected in 1912. 

He is a member of Olive Branch lodge, F. & A. M., of Tyrian 
Royal Arch Chapter, and of the Worcester County Commandery 
of Knight Templars. 

Col. George A. Flagg 

Col. George A. Flagg, son of Benjamin, was born in Millbury, 
in 1845. For many years he resided here and is pleasantly 
remembered by our older citizens. He received his education 
in the schools of Millbury, at Phillips Exeter Academy, and at 
Harvard University, graduating from the college in 1866 and from 
Harvard Law School in 1868. He took an active part in politics, 
representing the district of which Millbury formed a part, in the 
General Court. He served as secretary of the Republican State 
Committee. His rank of colonel was received from his service 
on the staff of Governor Robinson. He was a member of the 
School Committee. He was at one time associated with his father 
in business at the Millbury Cotton Mills. In 1879, he became 
connected with the Calumet & Hecla Mining Co. and, in 1893, 



390 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

was made its secretary and treasurer. Some years ago he moved 
to Holliston, where he now resides. 

John Gegenheimer 

John Gegenheimer, agent of the Cordis Mills prior to 1891, was 
conspicuous for his success in advancing the interests of that 
industry and of the welfare of its employees. He served the town 
as chief of the fire department and in other ways manifested his 
public spirit and devotion to the prosperity of the community. 
He was treasurer of the Millbury Electric Light Co. 

Pie now resides at Needham where he is engaged in the hardware 
and plumbing business. 

John R. Greenwood 

Mr. John R. Greenwood, widely known as a successful mill 
superintendent, came to Millbury in 1897 from Dexter, Maine, 
where for fifteen years he was agent in the Dexter Woolen 
Mills. In January, 1898, he took local charge of the affairs of the 
Mayo Woolen Co. which purchased the Mowry A. Lapham mill 
and under his direction repairs and alterations were made in the 
structure and machinery. The work begun at this mill has been 
continued by the later additions of recent machinery and similar 
improvements have been made under his supervision in other mills 
owned by the same company, viz., — the "Wheeler" mills, the 
"Pinafore" mill, and the "Crane and Waters" mill. Thus under 
his direction the number of mills has increased to four and the 
business of the company has greatly expanded. 

In 1913 and 1914, Mr. Greenwood was clerk of the Board of 
Selectmen and in 1915 was its chairman, having become a candi- 
date in response to solicitations from business men of the town. 

Mr. Greenwood has proved himself to be a good financier, a 
successful manufacturer and a loyal citizen whose efforts have 
contributed to the growth and development of the town. 

Hudson Warren Hakes 

Hudson Warren Hakes, manufacturer and inventor, is the son 
of Henry Hudson Hakes, a Civil War veteran. He was born in 
Millbury, July 5, 1853, and during his boyhood attended the local 
public schools. At the age of eleven he worked for five cents an 
hour under John Hovey on the Waters' farm watering tobacco on

THE H. W. HAKES MANUFACTURING CO. SHOP

the same piece of ground now occupied by his manufacturing 
establishment. He later worked in the Millbury Cotton mill, 
then operated by Harrington and Flagg, and was afterwards 
employed in the sash and blind shop of C. D. Morse and Co. 

When in his early twenties Mr. Hakes worked with his uncle, 
Mr. George Sweetser (brother of Warren Sweetser), at the Gilbert 
Loom Company of Worcester. Here he worked on loom con- 
struction and acquired a knowledge in the structure of looms 
which aided him in his later achievements. He afterwards was 
emploj-ed at the Crompton Loom Works, then located on Green 
St., Worcester. 

In 1879, Mr. Hakes began the manufacture of loom fittings for 
himself in Millbury, hiring a room in the factory of C. D. Morse 
(where the Felters' Co. is now situated) and here he worked for 
two years when fire destroyed the entire plant. 

In 1881, he built a shop, eighty feet long and fifty-six feet wide, 
on River St. where he has been located ever since. Here he has 
manufactured heddle-frames, wire goods and mill findings for 
woolen, cotton, and silk mills. 

In 1895, Mr. Hakes formed a stock company for the manufac- 
ture of heddle-frames and at the same time extensive improve- 
ments were made in the factory. A new shop was erected and 
well-nigh the entire equipment was renewed. The company on 
the first day of the year moved into the new building and the old 
shop was moved to the bank of the river where it has since been 
used as a store-house. 

In 1905, another building was erected, which is now used as the 
main shop. 

In 1908, the J. H. Williams Manufacturing Company, of Utica, 
N. Y., was taken under the management of Mr. Hakes and brought 
from that place to Millbury. This company was incorporated in 
New York, in 1846, but the first owners have died. Mr. Hakes 
disposed of the company's machines for the manufacture of reeds, 
bobbins, and heddles, retaining for the plant in Millbury the shut- 
tle machinery. A further addition was made to the buildings for 
the accommodation of this machinery by the erection of the North 
wing which has been devoted to the making of shuttles of all kinds 
and where, it is interesting to note, the Garfield shuttle-eyes are 
used. 



392 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Mr. Hakes has been not only a manufacturer of mill findings, 
but he has been an inventor as well. He has not only invented 
improved machinery in his own works, but he has also invented 
improvements in heddles and shuttles, to meet the requirements 
of advancing ideas. He has also contributed to the facilities for 
the manufacture of textile goods. He has been granted three 
patents for improvements in the structure of heddle-frames and 
two patents for the invention of hand threading shuttles, thus, 
in his own shop, meeting the requirements of the law which forbids 
the use of shuttles that require the operator to suck the thread 
through the shuttle-eye. He has been granted a patent for a 
holder in the automatic (Draper) shuttles whereby a rigid, strongly 
supported bevelled surface, instead of the metal strap commonly 
used, receives the head of the bobbin and guides it into its place. 

Mr. Hakes first invented in this country the adjustable handle- 
bars for bicycles securing a modified patent, the basic idea having 
previously been discovered in England. He also invented an 
adjustable spring bicycle seat though he never put this invention 
on the market. 

Besides the patents already granted, the last being in 1914, 
Mr. Hakes has five patents still pending for which application has 
been made. 

Warren A. Harris 

Mr. Harris has always lived on the farm which he owns and 
which was formerly in the possession of his father, Harry W. 
Harris. For many years he has been a dealer in wood, lumber 
and ice, having an ice house and a wood sawing plant located near 
the outlet of Singletary Lake. He also does a teaming business, 
so that in connection with all his industries he employs several 
men. He is the proprietor of many acres of land adjoining the 
lake, including Harris Grove which has been cleared so as to make 
an attractive place for summer campers and others who wish to 
enjoy the charm of this beautiful sheet of water. 

Wm. E. Horne 

Wm. E. Home came to Millbury, in 1874, and went to work as 
a clerk for Augustus S. Winter, with whom he remained for several 
years. He first engaged in business for himself in the brick build- 
ing which stands at the foot of Wigwam Hill, earlier used as a 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES: BIOGRAPHICAL 393 

school-house for the paper-mill district, and later as a store by 
H. L. Bancroft, and by Redding & Co. Here he dealt in groceries 
and general merchandise. The increase of business led him to 
move to his present location at Burbank Square, which is the site 
of the old hotel of Elias Lovell. With some of his sons, who were 
taken into partnership, he has built up an extensive business in 
groceries, fish, provisions, dry-goods, boots and shoes. Mr. Home 
is also a dealer in ice, wood and lumber and does an extensive 
teaming business. One of his ice-houses is located at Brierly 
Pond and the other, formerly owned by H. M. Goddard, is at 
Singletary Lake. 

Mr. Home is proprietor of the farm formerly owned by David 
T. March. The house in which he resides was once occupied by 
Maj. Gen. Burbank. The later residence built by the general, 
and situated next to the school-house in Bramanville, is also 
owned by Mr. Home, who also possesses "Wigwam," or, as it is 
sometimes called, "Soapstone" Hill. 

Frederick W. Moore 

Frederick W. Moore was born at Port Huron, Mich., but re- 
ceived his education in the public schools of Salmon Falls, N. H., 
and Exeter, N. H. He has resided at Exeter, N. H., Milltown, 
N. B., Ware, Mass., Thomdike, Mass., and Moosup, Conn. Since 
1891, he has been the resident agent of the Cordis Mills and under 
his management these mills have doubled in size, so that today 
they constitute the largest industry in town. 

Mr. Moore is president of the Millbury Steel Foundry Co., a 
trustee of the Millbury Savings Bank, and was formerly a director 
of the Blackstone Valley Electric Railway Co. He is a prominent 
Mason. 

In public town affairs Mr. Moore has been active and has held 
many important positions. He has served as moderator at special 
town meetings. He was chiefly instrumental in inauguratnig 
the present financial system of the town and for several years was 
chairman of the finance committee. He was on the committee 
in charge of remodelling the Union School Building. He was 
chairman of the committee which changed the street lighting 
system from the arc to the tungsten light. He was secretary of 
the committee for the erection of the new High School Building. 



394 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Peter C. Paradis 

Peter C. Paradis, grocer and general store-keeper, was born in 
St. Guillaume, P. Q. After attending the local school for a few 
years, upon the death of his father, he came to the United States 
at the age of fifteen. He began work as a mill-hand and attended 
night schools while thus employed. At North Grosvenordale, 
Ct., he was employed for several years as clerk in J. H. Wousard's 
store. In 1879, he came to Millbury, where he has since resided. 
Mr. Paradis bought the "Duggan place" on Maple Street and 
opened a small store, but the business has greatly increased. 

Mr. Paradis has been president of the French Naturalization 
Club, an active member of the St. Jean Baptiste Society, a member 
of the Foresters of America, and L'Union St. Jean Baptiste. 
In politics he is a member of the Republican party and has been 
a member of the town committee for several years. He was 
chairman of the board of selectmen in 1909, was on the board 
in 1912, and was chairman in 1913 and 1914. In 1915 he served 
in the State Legislature. 

Mr. and Mrs. Paradis were active in founding the Church of 
the Assumption and are closely identified with its interests. Both 
are well known for their benevolence. Mrs. Paradis is president 
of Council 212, of L'Union St. Jean Baptiste. 

William L. Proctor 

William L. Proctor who, with E. M. Wood, succeeded to the 
business of Buck Bros, in the manufacture of edge tools, after the 
death of Richard T. Buck, is a native of Sheffield, England. He 
was educated at Wesley, England, and later learned the business 
of steel making. Some years previous to 1887 he made several 
business trips to this country in which he finally came to reside. 
By his knowledge of steel and its working Mr. Proctor became a 
valuable assistant to Mr. Buck. He now carries on the business 
in company with his sons, Richard W. and Harold B. Proctor. 
Mr. Proctor has been prominent in musical affairs. 

Rev. George A. Putnam 

The Rev. George A. Putnam is descended from John Putnam 
who came to Salem Village, now Danvers, from Ashton, Abbotts, 
in Buckinghamshire, England, in 1634. The lineage descends

John 1 , Thomas 2 , Deacon Edward 3 , Elisha 4 , Nehemiah 5 , Reuben 6 , 
Rev. John Milton 7 , Rev. George Augustus 8 . In the same family, 
though not in a direct line, were the distinguished generals of 
Revolutionary fame, viz: — Gen. Israel Putnam of Connecticut, 
and Gen. Rufus Putnam, who was born in Sutton, Mass., and who 
was also very prominent in settling the State of Ohio. 

The father of the Rev. George A. Putnam was born in Sutton 
and, as his father died when he was young, he spent his youth on 
the farm of Jonathan Waters at West Millbury. The Rev. George 
Augustus Putnam was born at Dunbarton, N. H., May 8, 1835. 
He attended the district school in that place and prepared for 
college at Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, N. H. He then 
entered Union College, Schenectady, N. Y., from which he was 
graduated in 1858 and went to Bangor Theological Seminary from 
which he was graduated in 1860. His first pastorate was in the 
First Congregational church of Yarmouth, Maine, with which he 
remained from 1860 to 1870. On January 22, 1871, he came to 
the First Congregational Church of Millbury, and was installed 
as pastor, April 11, 1872. 

For nearly four decades Mr. Putnam continued in the pastorate 
of the church, resigning June 26, 1910, but he was made pastor 
emeritus, so that his pastoral relation with the church was modified, 
but not terminated. 

In October, 1875, Mr. Putnam went abroad for study and rest, 
visiting Scotland, England, France, Italy, Egypt, and Palestine. 
He remained absent a year having his full salary continued by a 
loyal and generous church. 

Although he has lectured occasionally, Mr. Putnam has con- 
stantly devoted his time, his attention, his talents, his learning 
and his strength to the duties of the pastorate. This office, how- 
ever, he has interpreted in a broad sense of the function so that he 
has been widely influential as citizen in the town and as a friend 
among the people. 

During his long pastorate the First Congregational Church has 
grown in strength and in numbers so far as the condition of the 
community permitted. Business disaster and a change of popu- 
lation greatly depleted the number within the limits of the parish 
yet the proportion of church members among the residents has 
increased.

The Right Reverend Monsignor Thomas Joseph Shahan, D.D. 

Among the prominent men who have gone out from Millbury 
the Right Reverend Thomas Joseph Shahan is the most eminent 
scholar. His active life, as student, teacher, and writer has led 
to his recognition the world over as an authority in ecclesiastical 
matters and he enjo} r s the esteem and confidence of the highest 
power in the Roman Catholic Church. In 1913 he was appointed 
bishop. 

Bishop Shahan was born at Manchester, N. H., Sept. 11, 1857, 
being the son of Maurice Peter and Mary Anna (Carmody) 
Shahan. He was reared in Millbury and educated in the public 
schools, spending three years in the high school. In 1872, he 
entered Montreal College, where he studied for six years, grad- 
uating in 1878. In that year he entered the American College 
at Rome and after four years' study was, in 1882, ordained to the 
priesthood. 

Returning to America he became assistant pastor of St. John's 
Church at New Haven, Conn. , for about eight months, after which 
he was appointed chancellor and secretary of the diocese of Hart- 
ford where he resided for five years. 

In the fall of 1888, he was appointed to a chair in the newly 
created Catholic University at Washington and went abroad for 
three years during which he studied at Rome, at Paris, and at 
Berlin, spending two years at the University in the latter city. 




MONSIGNOR THOMAS J. SHAHAN 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES: BIOGRAPHICAL 397 

Since 1891, he has resided in Washington, serving for eighteen 
years as professor of church history and lecturer on Roman law 
and for the last four years as rector of the Catholic University, 
an office to which he was appointed by Pope Pius X., in 1909, as 
successor to Bishop O'Connell, of Richmond, Va. 

He founded, and for ten years edited, the Catholic University 
Bulletin (1895-1913) and lectured and preached extensively, 
besides contributing frequently to periodicals and newspapers. 

He was made a prelate to the papal household (monsignor), 
an honorary office, by Pius X, in 1909, and was appointed as an 
original member of the board of judges for the Hall of Fame, Uni- 
versity Heights, New York. He is president of the Catholic 
Educational Association, an extensive organization, and is also 
president of the National Conference of Catholic Charities. 

He has written the following books, "Blessed Virgin in the 
Catacombs" (1892), "Giovanni Battista de Rossi" (1900), "The 
Beginnings of Christianity" (1903), "The Middle Ages" (1904), 
'The House of God" (1905). 

Since 1905, he has been one of the five editors of the Catholic 
Encyclopedia (New York, sixteen quarto volumes of eight hundred 
pages each), the standard work, in English, on the doctrine, dis- 
cipline, history and institutions of the Roman Catholic Church. 

In 1882,he received the degree Doctor of Divinity from the Prop- 
aganda College at Rome; in 1889, the degree of Licentiate of Canon 
and Civil Law from the Roman Seminary; and, in 1910, the 
honorary degree of LL.D. from Manhattan College, New York. 

William Howard Taft 

Mr. Taft honored and delighted the people of Millbury by 
attending the Centennial exercises in 1913. It is with mingled 
feelings of intimacy and awe that the citizens regard him. The 
feeling of intimacy is fostered by those older ones who remember 
him as a boy, by those who have been companions with him in his 
early years, and also by those who feel the pleasant touch of 
acquaintance with the Torrey family from which on his mother's 
side Mr. Taft has sprung. As a member of this family he is also 
related to several of the pioneers of the town who have done so 
much in moulding the influences that were at work in the early 
days. The Holman, Trask, Bond, Goodell, and Waters families 
all take justifiable pride in their connection with him. For many 



398 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

years his grandfather, Mr. Samuel D. Torrey, was one of the 
conspicuous figures in the life of the community and it was in his 
home that the ex-President was a visitor when a boy. He attended 
the public schools of Millbury and of all the youth who have had 
it impressed into their minds that some day they might become 
President of the United States he is the one, from Millbury Schools, 
who has actually attained that high position. 

William Howard Taft was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, September 
15, 1857. Both of his parents were of old Massachusetts families. 
His father, Alphonso Taft, who was born in Vermont, was descend- 
ed from Robert Taft who settled in Mendon in 1660. Mr. Alphon- 
so Taft was a prominent citizen of Cincinnati and a judge in the 
superior court of Cincinnati. He served in the cabinet of Presi- 
dent Grant as Secretary of War and as Attorney-general and was 
successively United States minister to Austria-Hungary and to 
Russia, under President Arthur. 

On the mother's side Mr. Taft was descended from William 
Torrey who came to New England in 1640 and from the Waters 
family which has been conspicuous in the earliest Millbury and 
Sutton history. After her husband's death Mrs. Taft again 
made her home in Millbury, living with her sister, Miss Delia 
C. Torrey. 

Mr. Taft was graduated from the Woodward High School of 
Cincinnati, in 1874, and from Yale University, in 1878, where he 
stood second and was salutatorian in a class of 132, being also 
elected class orator by his class. In 1880, he was graduated from 
the Cincinnati Law School, dividing the first prize. He received 
the degree of LL.D. from Yale, in 1893; from University of Penn- 
sylvania, in 1902; from Harvard and Miami, in 1905; from the 
State University of Iowa, in 1907; from Princeton, in 1912; from 
Wesleyan College, in 1909; and from Amherst, in 1914. 

In 1886, Mr. Taft married Helen Herron, daughter of John W. 
Herron, Esq., of Cincinnati, for eight years United States district 
attorney for the Southern District of Ohio. 

Mr. Taft was admitted to the Ohio bar, in 1880, and in the same 
year he became a law reporter on the "Cincinnati Times" which 
was owned by his half-brother, Charles P. Taft, and later on the 
"Commercial" of the same city. He was assistant prosecuting 
attorney for Hamilton County, Ohio, in 1881-2. In the following 
year he was appointed collector of internal revenue for the first

district of Ohio, by President Arthur, but he resigned in the next 
year, as he found the work uncongenial, and he returned to the 
practice of law in which he continued until 1885, when he was 
appointed assistant county solicitor of Hamilton County, Ohio. 
Two years later he was appointed and in the next year was elected, 
by popular vote, a judge in the superior court, a position formerly 
held by his father. 

In 1890, President Harrison appointed him solicitor general 
of the United States where, under the supervision of the Attorney- 
general, he conducted the business of the government before the 
Supreme Court of the United States. 

He was appointed, in March, 1892, also by President Harrison, 
United States Circuit Judge for the sixth circuit, embracing Michi- 
gan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee and became a member of the 
court of appeals of that circuit. In this capacity he handed down 
several notable decisions, especially on boycotts and strikes. 

During a great railroad strike, in 1894, Frank W. Phelan was 
sent by Eugene V. Debbs, president of the American Railway 
Union, for the purpose of tying up traffic about Cincinnati. Judge 
Taft granted an injunction, restraining Phelan from instigating 
violence against employees of a railroad receiver in his court. 
Phelan violated the injunction and was sentenced to jail for six 
months for contempt. Judge Taft at the time announced that 
"the starvation of a nation cannot be the lawful purpose of a 
combination. " He further said that "if there is any power in the 
army of the United States to run those trains the trains will run, " 
and they were. The most important opinion written by Judge 
Taft was in the case of the United States against the Addington 
Pope Company and others, involving a construction of the Anti- 
trust Act. It was the judgment of the court of appeals, consisting 
of Justice Harlan, Judge Taft and Judge Lurton. It was a pioneer 
decision. 

From 1896 until 1900 Judge Taft was a professor in the law 
department of the University of Cincinnati and also its dean. 

Judge Taft was selected by President McKinley as president of 
the Philippine Commission on which he served from March 13, 
1901, until February 1, 1904, after July 4, 1901, being in addition 
the first civil governor of the Philippine Islands. In this capacity 
he faced many problems that were new to American political life 
with consummate skill, fairness, and firmness. The commission 



400 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

acted like a legislature, holding public meetings and causing bills 
to be published and discussed before they were passed. Arriving 
at Manila in June, 1900, the commission at once set itself to the 
accomplishment of the task before it and in August of that year 
sent a preliminary report. In June of the following year a code 
of laws was completed for the islands, a judiciary system was 
established, and law officers were appointed. Under the rule of 
Governor Taft the Filipinos experienced a degree of justice, peace 
and prosperity such as they had never reached in their previous 
history. Under him they had a government that would keep its 
faith with them, good roads were built and good schools were 
introduced. Governor Taft believed in stimulating the efforts 
of the islanders for their own benefit and further believed it to be 
"most important that Filipinos should suppress Filipino disturb- 
ances and arrest Filipino outlaws, " and it was for this purpose that 
the constabulary of the islands was first used. 

Mr. Taft acquired great influence among the more conservative 
and influential Filipinos and in turn he felt his reponsibility toward 
them for, in 1902, he was tendered a position on the Supreme 
bench, one of his fondest ambitions, by President Roosevelt, but 
the entreaties of the Filipinos influenced him to decline the offer. 

In that and the following years, partly through a conference 
with Pope Leo XIII, he arranged for the purchase of the lands in 
the Philippines belonging to the religious orders. 

After having faced many problems entirely new in American 
administration and having met them with a wisdom and courage 
that won for him not only the respect of the people of the islands, 
but also the confidence of the people and the government of the 
United States, he was appointed, February 1, 1904, Secretary of 
War in the cabinet of President Roosevelt, succeeding Elihu Root 
in that office and following at a greater interval his own father. 
To the usual duties of this position were also added the adminis- 
tration of the Philippine Islands and preparations for the con- 
struction of the Panama Canal. 

In an early report which he made on the government of the 
Philippines he stated that "The Philippine government is the 
result of an effort on the part of this nation to assist the Philippine 
people to stand upon their feet. It is a national experiment. " 

As Secretary of War he became a pacificator in several lands 
where the United States had the right to attempt adjustments, 
notably, in Panama he adjusted disputes which were acute. 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES! BIOGRAPHICAL 401 

In 1905, with a Congressional delegation, Secretary Taft went 
on a tour of inspection in the Philippines and again, in 1907, 
fulfilling a promise made when he retired from the office of civil 
governor, he went to the Philippines and assisted in the opening 
of the first Filipino legislative assembly. 

In 1906, Mr. Taft was sent by President Roosevelt to Cuba to 
adjust a revolution there and for a short time he acted as provi- 
sional governor. In March and April, 1907, he visited Panama, 
Porto Rico, and Cuba to familiarize himself with conditions. La- 
ter, he visited Japan and the Philippine Islands, returning to 
America through Russia. 

Mr. Taft delivered the Dodge lectures at Yale University, in 
1906, on "The 'Responsibilities of Citizenship." These were 
published as " Four Aspects of Civic Duty. " Some of his political 
speeches have been published under the titles, "Present Day 
Problems" and "Issues and Outlooks." 

In 1906, Mr. Taft became president of the American Red Cross 
and promoted its re-organization. 

Mr. Taft was nominated for the presidency of the United States 
in the Republican National Convention, held in Chicago, in June, 
1908, and he was elected to that position November 3, 1908, for 
the term beginning March 4, 1909, receiving three hundred twenty- 
one electoral votes against one hundred sixty-two for William 
Jennings Bryan, the Democratic candidate. His popular plu- 
rality was one million, forty-five thousand, seven hundred and 
fifteen. 

After he had become President, Mr. Taft called an extra session 
of Congress to revise the tariff and on August 5, 1909, he signed 
the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill thus making it a law. Although this 
measure did not meet his wishes, it seemed to be the best that he 
could secure from Congress and he stoutly defended it in the early 
addresses of his administration. To Congress and in public 
speeches he has committed himself in favor of a central bank, 
subsidies for ocean shipping, a postal savings system, a bureau of 
mines, a bureau of public health, liberal conservation legislation, 
a broader plan of government supervision of interstate commerce, 
an improved form of government for Alaska, the fortification of the 
Panama Canal, and several reforms in judicial procedure. 

President Taft strove to make as much progress as possible 
through the laws which were already in existence. This he did 



26 



402 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

especially in the curbing of great combinations of capital through 
the Sherman anti-trust law. 

President Taft secured treaties with England and other powers 
by which each agreed to submit questions that might arise in the 
future, over which there might be contention, to arbitration. 
The senate, however, would not confirm the treaties. Thus 
although his efforts to produce instruments that would submit 
further differences to arbitration were not successful, yet the 
moral value of his endeavor was very great. 

Although the Republican majority was very great during his 
administration it was divided by a so-called Progressive element 
that was impatient of results. 

In 1912, Mr. Taft was again nominated for the Presidency by 
the Republican party but the so-called Progressive party was 
formed, headed by President Taft's predecessor in office, and the 
vote of the party was so divided in the states that the Democratic 
candidate was elected. 

In the year of his retirement from the Presidency, Mr. Taft was 
elected as Kent professor of law in Yale University, and in the 
same year he was made president of the American Bar Association. 

Levi L. Whitney 

The Honorable Levi Lincoln Whitney, formerly a well-known 
business man of Millbury, was born in Princeton, January 20, 
1838. His father, Col. John Whitney, was at one time a deputy 
sheriff of the county. The maternal grandfather was Col. Jacob 
W. Watson, of Princeton, an old time tanner and currier, with 
whom Mr. Whitney lived for three years. When sixteen years 
of age, Mr. Whitney came to Millbury and entered the employ 
of A. Wood & Sons, shoe manufacturers at West Millbury. For 
a part of the time he worked in the store and office of the company, 
but spent the remainder of the time in learning the trade of a shoe 
cutter. After being employed here for a year, he attended Wor- 
cester Academy for a year. Upon returning to Millbury, he was 
again employed by A. Wood & Sons and spent his whole time in 
the factory. Two brothers, Charles A. and John N. Whitney, 
were also employed by the same company, the latter being foreman 
of the cutting room. With this company Mr. Whitney remained 
till he was about twenty-one years of age. 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES: BIOGRAPHICAL 403 

Mr. Whitney's brother, the late Charles A. Whitney, and Orville 
E. Thompson engaged in the manufacture of boots and shoes at 
Chicago, Illinois, and, in 1859, Mr. Whitney moved there, and 
became a member of the firm of Thompson, Whitney & Co. which 
did a large business until the great Chicago fire, in 1871, when its 
factory was destroyed. Upon returning to Millbury, Mr. Whitney 
was associated with the firm of Crane & Waters, at Bramanville, 
continuing there until 1875. In 1875, he was also associated with 
Gustave Molt, on Dorothy Stream, in the manufacture of indigo- 
blue dye and he remained in this business for several years. In 
1877, Mr. Whitney bought the mill now owned by the West End 
Thread Company which he operated till 1884. At one time he 
was in business in Worcester with his son, Walter L. Whitney, 
near the old Junction Depot, manufacturing the Pentecost Steam 
Generators. He was a director in the Millbury National Bank, 
atrustee of the Millbury Savings Bank in 1873, and president of the 
latter institution in 1888. He was a member of the board of 
selectmen in 1877, in 1878, in 1879, in 1881 and 1887. In 1880, 
he represented the fifteenth district in the Massachusetts Legis- 
lature and, in 1888, he was elected to the state Senate. He is a 
member of Worcester Commandery Knights Templars. Mr. 
Whitney resides in Worcester.

Henry Augustus Aiken 

Henry Augustus Aiken, a descendant of Edward Aiken, was 
born in Merrimac, N. H. He maintained a jeweller's store and for 
a time was engaged in the printing business. He owned the 
Aiken Block which formerly stood on South Main St., not far 
from the present Town House. He was an esteemed citizen. 

Asa Andrews 

Asa Andrews, an early citizen, was a small manufacturer and 
was conspicuous in town and church affairs. He had a son, Dr. 
Asa Andrews. Miss Mary Andrews, of this family, was long 
active in the Second Congregational Church. She was esteemed 
for her deeds of charity and for her missionary interest. 

The Andrews house stood on the spot now occupied by the 
Millbury National Bank, but years ago it was moved to the rear 
of Farnsworth Block. 

Amos Armsby 

Amos Armsby, son of Horace, was born at Sutton, Mass., 
Sept. 10, 1835. He was educated in the public schools of Haydens- 
ville (now Whitinsville) , Mass.; in Illinois, where his parents 
resided for a time; and at Millbury Academy in this town. In 
1849, his parents moved to Millbury and here he resided for the 
remainder of his life. He was a man of decided opinions. He 
took a warm interest in the welfare of this town and filled an 
important place in the religious, social, and business affairs of the 
community. 

Mr. Armsby was first employed as clerk in the office of the 
J. D. Wheeler Mill. Later he was book-keeper for his father in 
the sash and blind shop. In 1872, he was assistant to Frank C. 
Miles, treasurer of the Millbury Savings Bank and cashier of the 
Millbury National Bank. When, in 1874, the banks divided, David 
Atwood succeeded Mr. Miles as treasurer of the Savings Bank 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, A~C 405 

and Mr. Armsby succeeded him as cashier of the National Bank. 
This position Mr. Armsby held until 1897 when he succeeded Mr. 
Atwood as treasurer of the Savings Bank, a position which he held 
at the time of his death. In the resolutions passed by the Board 
of Investment of the Savings Bank at the time of his decease it 
was stated that the Bank had "lost a treasurer of spotless integ- 
rity, sterling character, high ideals and ripe judgment." He 
was also a stockholder and director in the National Bank. 

Mr. Armsby served the town as assessor and, for ten years, as 
a member of the school committee of which he was chairman at 
the time of his death. Like his father he was a deacon in the 
Second Congregational Church and also clerk and treasurer of the 
Society. He was treasurer of the Worcester South Conference of 
Congregational Churches and was a member of the Congregational 
Club of Worcester. 

Mr. Armsby was twice married. His second wife was Alice 
M. Davis who was educated at Mt. Holyoke Seminary. She was 
active in church and social affairs and at the time of her death 
in 1897 was vice-president of the Mt. Holyoke Seminary Alumnae 
Association. 

(See Genealogy.) 

Horace Armsby 

Deacon Horace Armsby, a widely known and highly respected 
citizen, was born in Paris, Maine, in 1809. His grandfather, 
Joshua, was a soldier in the Old French War and with the wages 
received he assisted himself through Harvard College from which 
he was graduated in 1773. 

Mr. Armsby early learned the trade of carpenter. In 1849, he 
moved to Millbury and engaged in the manufacture of doors, sash, 
and blinds. From 1853 until 1872, he continued in this business 
in company with Charles D. Morse. 

Mr. Armsby was honored by the citizens with many responsible 
positions, having been chosen assessor, selectman, and representa- 
tive to the General Court (1861 and 1862). He was president of 
the Millbury Savings Bank at the time of his death, having been 
elected to that position in the previous year. For twelve years 
he was a deacon in the Second Congregational Church in whose 
affairs he ever took a warm and active interest.

406 history of millbury 

Charles Bowler Atwood 

Charles Bowler Atwood, noted American architect, was a man 
of peculiarly sensitive artistic temperament. He was a close and 
a sound student of his art with a remarkable experience. He was 
a remarkable draughtsman using his left hand with sureness and 
rapidity. D. H. Burnham, with whom he was associated in his 
ripest work, said of him, "He was of an honorable, charitable dis- 
position, but like most great artists a mere child in the practical 
things of life." 

Mr. Atwood was the son of David Atwood and was born in 
Charlestown, May 18, 1849, but he was reared in Millbury. He 
received architectural training in the offices of Elbridge Boyden, of 
Worcester, and of Ware and Van Brunt, of Boston. He studied 
in the Scientific School of Harvard University and after his grad- 
uation he returned to the office of Ware and Van Brunt with whom 
he remained until 1870. In 1872 he opened an office for himself 
in Pemberton Square, Boston. 

In 1870, he built the first State Mutual building in Worcester, 
the Merchants and Farmers' Fire Insurance Co. building, also in 
Worcester, and the Five Cent Savings Bank building in Lowell. 

Within a few years he received a prize for his plans of a City 
Hall in San Francisco, two prizes for plans of a state capitol in 
Hartford, Conn., a prize for the design of the court house in Spring- 
field, Mass., and the first prize with the commission to build the 
city hall in Holyoke, Mass. In 1875, he removed to New York 
City where for many years he was engaged in designing everything 
in relation to architecture in association with Herter Bros. He 
designed the residences of David Dows, William H. Vanderbilt, 
Elliot F. Shepherd, and W. D. Sloane, all in New York City. He 
also designed the interior decorations of many notable houses in 
other parts of the country, including that of Mrs. Mark Hopkins 
at San Francisco. 

In 1884, Mr. Atwood established himself independently in New 
York City and received from Mr. Vanderbilt a commission to 
design two houses for his sons-in-law, Mr. H. McK. Twombly 
and Dr. Seward Webb. He also entered into competition for the 
Boston Public Library Building and he gained the first prize, but 
his building was not erected. Later he submitted a design for 
a new City Hall in New York City and gained the first prize of 




fe 






- o 




INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, A-C

five thousand dollars. His plans were recommended by the board 
of experts as the only suitable ones to be accepted, but this build- 
ing also was not erected. 

In 1886, he was selected by Mrs. Mark Hopkins to complete 
her magnificent residence at Great Barrington, Mass., and Mr. 
Atwood labored upon this for two years. 

In April, 1891, at the invitation of Mr. D. H. Burnham, he went 
to Chicago as one of the corps of architects who were at work on 
the buildings and grounds for the Columbian Exposition. He was 
made designer-in-chief with the task of harmonizing the plans of 
the various architects and for this position of censorship he was 
well fitted by his sound scholarship and remarkable experience. 
He designed particularly the peristyle, the forestry building, the 
casino, the music hall but most notably the fine arts building. 
Of Mr. Atwood's work on this building we have some light in the 
following incident which was written by Daniel H. Burnham, 
architect-in-chief of the Exposition, and utilized in the "Rem- 
iniscences of Augustus St. Gaudens," prepared by his son. We 
shall recall that Mr. St. Gaudens was esteemed to have been the 
greatest sculptor and the greatest artist that had worked in 
America and that the Parthenon to which he referred has stood 
for two thousand years as the world's most perfect work in archi- 
tecture. When the Art Building had been finished and just before 
the Fair had opened Mr. St. Gaudens took Mr. Burnham by the 
shoulders and said, " Old fellow, do you realize the rank of Atwood's 
building? In my judgment it is the best thing done since the 
Parthenon." And Mr. Burnham stated that "this conclusion 
has been justified by the statements of many eminent critics." 

From 1893 until 1895 Mr. Atwood was a partner in the archi- 
tectural firm of D. H. Burnham & Co. 

Following his marked success as designer-in-chief of the buildings 
at the World's Fair in Chicago, Mr. Atwood was summoned to 
Paris to assist in the plans for the Paris Exposition, but he could 
not complete this task. 

He died in Chicago, Dec. 19, 1895, and his remains were brought 
to Millbury where they were interred in Central Cemetery.

David Atwood, a native of North Eastham, Mass., for many 
years was cashier of the Millbury Bank, and was the first treasurer 



408 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

of the Millbury Savings Bank, a position which he held until 1897, 
when failing health compelled him to retire. For several years, 
he served the town as treasurer. He was a member of the school 
committee, and a trustee of cemeteries. All of these positions he 
rilled ably and honorably. In 1897, he went to California, and 
he remained there until 1899, when he visited Millbury for a few 
months. He returned to California, and lived there until his 
death, at Los Angeles, Sept. 22, 1907. He was buried in Central 
Cemetery, Millbury, Sept. 30, 1907. Mr. Atwood's eldest son, 
Chas. B. Atwood, was a noted architect (see sketch). 

John E. Bacon 
John E. Bacon, for many years previous to 1870 agent of the 
Cordis Mills, was a man widely known among mill owners. His 
marked integrity commanded universal respect. Quiet and un- 
assuming in manner among his fellow-townsmen he was careful 
of the position which he assumed on questions that arose. He was 
interested in the public schools. He left a definite impression on 
the townspeople. 

Henry Harris Bancroft 
Henry Harris Bancroft was a tenor singer and for many years 
he frequently sang in local concerts. For twenty years he was 
a travelling salesman for the H. A. Matthews Manufacturing Co., 
in which he had an interest. He was well-known in the hardware, 
sheet-metal, and similar lines of trade covered by his company 
particularly in the important centers of the middle west. 

Henry L. Bancroft 

Henry L. Bancroft, son of Solomon, was born on the Greenwood 
farm in Millbury, June 25, 1821. He received his education in 
the local schools and at Leicester Academy. He became a mill- 
wright by occupation and the erection of many mills along the 
Blackstone came under his supervision. He later conducted a 
general store in Bramanville. 

Mr. Bancroft was an ardent Republican in politics. For many 
years he was moderator at the town meetings. He also served the 
town as tax collector, as assessor, as selectman, as a member of 
the school committee, and as overseer of the poor. He was for 
two years a member of the State Senate and occupied a prominent 
place in the councils of his party. 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, A-C 409 

Mr. Bancroft was an active and influential member of the First 
Congregational Church and for twenty-five years superintendent 
of its Sunday school. He sang in the church choir for the greater 
part of his life even until he was well advanced in years. He was 
zealous in every good work that in his opinion was for the upbuild- 
ing of the community. He resided on Burbank Hill.

Isaac Barnard 

Isaac Barnard gave to the North Parish of Sutton what is now 
the " Old Common" of Millbury (see page 20). He was the great, 
great grandfather of William C. Barnard, of Worcester. Isaac 
Barnard's daughter married the Rev. James Wellman, first pastor 
of the First Congregational Church in Millbury. Mr. Barnard 
died in Worcester, and was buried on the Common. Wm. S. 
Barton, in his work, "Inscriptions from the Old Burial Ground on 
the Common," gives us the following relating to Isaac Barnard, — 

"Barnard 
"My glass is run — 

"Erected in memory of Isaac Barnard, Esq., who departed this 
life March ye 18, 1788, Aged 86 years —Rev. XIV. 13. " 

A note tells us that he was, "A Royalist Protestor of 1774, 
disarmed by order of the Committee of Correspondence in May, 
1775." 

James A. Benchley 

James H. Benchley, a former local business man, was a member 
of the firm of Benchley & Jackson, which owned a machine shop 
at the site of the W. W. Windle Co. Mill. His son, Henry W. 
Benchley, held the high position of Lieutenant-Governor of the 
state, the only man from the town to attain this dignity, though 
Millbury has had several citizens who have become state senators. 
Mr. Benchley later removed to Texas where he died some years 
ago. His son, Charles H. Benchley, has for many years held the 
position of mayor's clerk in Worcester. 

Stephen Blanchard 

Stephen Blanchard, a brother of Thomas, the inventor, was an 
active man in business and in general affairs. His old tack factory 
where he and his brother Thomas worked is still in existence. The 



410 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

old home was at the corner of the main street and Oxford Road, 
West Millbury, and was built in 1812, after his house, which for- 
merly stood there, was destroyed by fire. The house built in 
1812, was a well-known landmark of the village and stood until 
a few years ago, when it, too, was burned. At the rear of this old 
homestead is the West Millbury cemetery where lie buried Samuel 
Blanchard and wife, the father and mother of Stephen and Thomas. 
Though Stephen Blanchard did not exercise the inventive genius 
of his brother Thomas, yet he was a man of ability and character . 

Thomas Blanchard 

The greatest inventor that Millbury has produced was Thomas 
Blanchard whose inventions supplemented those of Asa Waters 
and revolutionized the manufacture of guns in America, if not in 
the entire world. His inventions have made possible the turning 
of irregular forms such as shoe lasts, pulley-blocks, etc., and later 
models of his machines are widely in use today. The relative 
importance of Mr. Blanchard's contributions to the progress of 
mechanical production has thus been stated by the late Col. Asa 
H. Waters (History of Sutton, 1878, p. 758). 

"A cartoon, entitled 'Men of Progress,' was published in Phil- 
adelphia by Munn & Co. in 1863 on which are represented the 
most distinguished American inventors of the present century, 
and among them may be found a good picture of the late Thomas 
Blanchard. No one in that galaxy of geniuses more justly deserves 
the honor. Some of them, such as Morse, McCormick, Howe, 
and Goodyear, have made single inventions which have perhaps 
attracted more public notice than any one of Blanchard's, but it 
may be questioned whether another inventor can be named in 
this country or in Europe, during the last century, who has pro- 
duced so many different labor-saving machines, applicable to such 
variety of uses, and which have contributed so largely to the com- 
mon necessities, comforts, and economies of life. This language 
may seem extravagant, but it must be remembered that not an 
armory exists in this country or in England where guns are made 
— hardly a human being that wears boots and shoes — scarcely a 
vessel that sails upon the ocean — not a school where slates are 
used— not a carpet laid down, but that owes tribute to the genius 
of Thomas Blanchard for producing articles cheaper and better. 
The same may be said of carriage wheels, plows, shovels, and 




THOMAS BLANCHARD 
1788 - 1864 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, A~C 411 

various articles of furniture. Latterly, his machines have been 
applied to carving, to architectural designs, and even to statuary 
— much to the surprise of the artists. Indeed, there seems to be 
no limit to the uses made of Blanchard's inventions, and it is 
impossible at present to enumerate them. One can hardly go into 
a tool shop, a machine shop or a work-shop of any kind, wood or 
iron, where motive power is used, in which he will not find more 
or less of Blanchard's mechanical motions." 

Thomas Blanchard was born June 24, 1788, in that part of Sut- 
ton which was called the "Oxford Gore" and was later set off to 
Oxford. He was of French origin being descended from the 
Huguenots who settled in that town to avoid persecution and 
from them he inherited a taste for mechanical pursuits in which 
they were proficient. His father, Samuel, was an industrious 
farmer who cultivated the strip of land on which his home was 
located and maintained a country blacksmith shop. The mother, 
Susanna, a native of Rowley, Mass., was the daughter of Daniel 
Tenney. To them were born eight children of whom Thomas was 
the sixth. 

As a boy Thomas Blanchard was tall for his age, awkward in 
appearance, and indifferent to the general information to be de- 
rived from books. Indeed, many called him simple-minded, but his 
mechanical tastes were evident in the making of wooden toys, 
such as wind-mills and water-wheels, and it was reported that he 
would entertain himself by the hour with a piece of wood, a knife 
and a gimlet. When only nine years of age he attempted (unsuc- 
cessfully, as might be expected) to construct a forge for welding 
iron, as he had seen his father do. At the age of thirteen, or later, 
he invented an apple-paring machine that elicited local wonder 
and undoubtedly encouraged him in his attention to labor-saving 
devices. 

The first invention of Mr. Blanchard that gained wide atten- 
tion was perfected when he was eighteen years of age. He was 
at the time employed by his brother Stephen at the shop in West 
Millbury where tacks were slowly made by hand. Here he studied 
tack-making and invented his machine on which five hundred 
tacks could be produced in a minute with better finished heads and 
points than those made by hand. At the age of twenty-four he 
sold this invention for five thousand dollars, a large sum to him 
at the time, but a very small amount for such a revolutionary 
invention. 



412 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Mr. Blanchard's most famous and most valuable invention was 
the eccentric lathe for turning irregular forms. Millbury is 
especially concerned in the creation of this production, as it has 
commonly been stated that the United States armory at Springfield 
was the birthplace of this valuable machine. The invention was 
assigned there, possibly because of Mr. Blanchard's later connec- 
tion with the establishment and the later supplements to the 
machine that were produced there. As a matter of fact, however, 
the eccentric lathe was invented and first constructed in Millbury 
and, after its invention here, the first machine to be set up in the 
Springfield armory was carted over the roads from Millbury by 
Mr. Horace Waters. After another was made like it for the Spring- 
field Armory the original lathe was returned to Millbury where it 
was used for about twenty years in the Waters Armory. 

The entire machine in its perfection did not come at once into 
Mr. Blanchard's mind as he was about two years at work upon the 
first model. Various anecdotes have been related purporting to 
reveal the development of the working of the idea in his mind, but 
if we leave it to the psychologists and to the recording angel to 
give us the exact sequence of his ideas in the development of his 
conception, we are still assured that it was at the armory of Asa 
Waters in Millbury that Mr. Blanchard was taken by the propri- 
etor who had himself invented a lathe for turning the gun barrels 
round but who sought a machine for turning the breech end of the 
gun which was flat on the sides and round on the top and bottom. 
As a result of Mr. Waters' efforts in directing the attention of 
young Blanchard to the turning of the gun barrel Mr. Blanchard 
developed the idea of the eccentric lathe which, after some study, 
he elaborated in a model. He secured a patent on the machine 
September 6, 1819. 

After the machine had been put in operation for gun barrels it 
was applied to the turning of gun-stocks and afterwards to the 
turning of many kinds of irregular forms. 

Major J. W. Wright, who was long employed in the Armory 
Works, as machinist, clerk and superintendent, under date of 
Kalamazoo, Mich., April 27, 1886, wrote Col. Asa H. Waters as 
follows: — 

"To turn the irregular shape of the butt baffled all the efforts, and defied 
the ingenuity, of all the mechanics, in all the armories. After laboring long 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, A-C 413 

and hard on the problem, Mr. Waters, hearing of a budding genius in a neigh- 
boring district, sent for him to come to his armory, and see if he could suggest 
something. He came and soon after produced a model for a very peculiar and 
entirely original 'Cam Motion' which relieved the difficulty at once. To 
reduce the forged butt to proper shape cost, in labor and files, a dollar on each 
gun ; and this motion reduced the expense more than half. One of the stackers, 
while watching the operation, said, 'Blanchard has robbed you of your job; 
but he cannot rob us of ours, for he cannot turn a gunstock.' This young man 
since famous as Thomas Blanchard, modestly replied, 'I'm not so certain of 
that.' His mind being thus directed to this matter, after the study of a year 
or more, he brought to the armory of Mr. Waters a wooden model four feet 
long for a machine to turn a gunstock. The expert mechanics thought favor- 
ably of it, and a full sized machine was built. Some of the United States 
inspectors on service at the armory at the time wanted it sent to Springfield 
for examination and trial. Blanchard consenting, it was carted to the armory 
there by Horace Waters. It remained long enough to build another similar, 
was then returned to Mr. Waters' armory, and there remained in use many 
years. While in the employ of Mr. Waters, I married the niece of Thomas 
Blanchard, and thus was brought into close and intimate relations with both. 
I had frequent conferences with Blanchard upon his various inventions, and 
was often requested to aid him in his suits for infringements, which were 
unending. (Signed) J. W. Wright." 

The principle of this machine, as we learn from the Encyclo- 
pedia Americana, is "that forms are turned by a pattern the exact 
shape of the object to be produced, which in every part of it is 
successively brought in contact with a small friction wheel; this 
wheel precisely regulates the motion of chisels arranged upon a 
cutting wheel acting upon the rough block, so that as the friction- 
wheel successively traverses every portion of the rotating pattern, 
the cutting wheel pares off the superabundant wood from end to 
end of the block, leaving a precise resemblance of the model. 
This remarkable machine, with its modifications and improve- 
ments, is in use in the national armories as well as in England." 

Mr. Blanchard was afterwards employed at the armory in 
Springfield where he added other machines (thirteen in all) to 
the one already invented, so that the stock of the gun could be 
made entirely by machinery and fitted to receive the metal parts. 

Mr. Blanchard was one of the inventors that were then at work 
in developing uniform parts to a gun, so that the broken pieces 
on a battlefield could be fitted together. In these efforts inventors 
were opposed by hand laborers but out of the efforts put forth 
there was developed as a practical reality the interchangeability 
of parts. This was extended to the manufacture of watches and 
of other mechanical contrivances. 



414 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

In 1825, Mr. Blanchard built a steam carriage that was a fore- 
runner of the automobile of today. 

From 1826 until 1830 he was employed in the construction of 
steam boats on the Connecticut River and he designed water craft 
that would ascend the swift waters of that river. He also invented 
a machine for cutting and folding envelopes. He perfected a 
process by which heavy timbers were bent without losing any of 
their strength and this has been applied to lighter wood as well. 

In 1834, Mr. Blanchard was granted a renewal of his patent on 
the eccentric lathe after a contest in which an attempt was made 
to deprive him of the honor of the invention. When the second 
patent had expired he applied for a third time to Congress stating 
that because of his expenditures in defending himself against 
infringements he had realized very little on the invention. He 
was strongly opposed in his efforts before Congress and the re- 
nowned Choate was employed to defeat him. Meanwhile, Mr. 
Blanchard secured plaster casts of several men eminent in Ameri- 
can life, including several members of Congress, and from these 
casts as models he turned out similar busts from wood. This 
greatly impressed the members of Congress and Choate wittily 
remarked that "Blanchard has turned the heads of Congress and 
gained his point." In the senate Daniel Webster introduced a 
motion for a renewal of the patent and this was amended so that 
Mr. Blanchard was given the patent rights on his invention during 
his lifetime. 

In 1841, Mr. Blanchard moved to New York City where he 
remained for two years. In 1843, he moved to Boston where he 
resided until his death which occurred April 16, 1864. 

Blanchard Hall, situated on the ground floor of the Town House, 
was named in his honor. 

Dr. Robert Booth 

Dr. Robert Booth, for more than thirty years a successful phy- 
sician in Millbury, was born in Ireland, Sept. 20, 1840, being the 
3'oungest of nine children. His early life was spent on a farm 
in his native country. When seventeen years of age he emigrated 
to America, landing at New York after a voyage of seven weeks, 
and proceeded soon to Millbury. He was first employed as an 
operative in the woolen mill of Nelson Walling where he worked 
for a year. He then joined his brother in Canada and taught in 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, A-C 415 

the public schools, at the same time preparing himself for his 
medical studies which he took at the University of Michigan, 
graduating in 1867. 

Dr. Booth practiced medicine first at Blackstone, Mass., where 
he remained eight years after which he moved to Millbury and 
resided here from that time. His practice became extensive and 
he increasingly gained the respect and affection of the people of 
the community. Besides his private practice he was physician 
for Court Millbury, F. of A.; Fraternity Circle, C. of F. A.; and 
Division 9, A. 0. H. 

Dr. Booth served the town with fidelity in many positions of 
honor. He was a member of the board of selectmen in 1891 and 
1892 and again from 1896 until 1901. In 1910, he was elected 
on the school committee for three years but died before the expira- 
tion of his term of office. For several years he was on the board 
of health and was its chairman at the time of his death. He was 
active in securing public improvements including the building of 
sections of state highway and the extension of the Blackstone 
Valley Electric Railway to Worcester. 

Dr. Booth was a member of the Foresters of America. In 
politics he was a democrat, but he received the support of many 
in local affairs regardless of party distinction. 

Dr. Booth in 1894 married Josie Little. He died in June, 1910. 

Roland E. Bowen 

Roland E. Bowen, former postmaster of Millbury, was one of 
the most noted checker players of the country. He met many 
other famous players of this and other countries and was very 
successful in his contests. 

Mr. Bowen was a member of that old fighting regiment, the 
Fifteenth Massachusetts. For a time he was a prisoner in the 
famous Libby Prison at Richmond, Virginia. He was a popular 
member of the local Post of the G. A. R. and was esteemed highly 
in the community. 

Benjamin Brierly 

Benjamin Brierly, like James Brierly, was for many years a 
well-known citizen of the town. He was prominent in the First 
Congregational Church, and labored faithfully for the moral and 



416 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

spiritual elevation of the community. Mr. Brierly was twice 
married, his second wife being a sister of the Hon. Henry L. 
Bancroft. For a time he was engaged in business in Worcester. 

James Brierly 

James Brierly, formerly a cotton manufacturer, was also, in 
the fifties, engaged in making paper at the old Burbank Mill in 
Bramanville. He was among the most respected citizens of the 
town, a man of strict integrity, and commanded the esteem of his 
associates. His useful life added much to the material prosperity 
and moral elevation of the community. 

Charles Buck 

Charles Buck, edge-tool manufacturer, was descended from a 
family that had long been engaged in this occupation. He was 
born in Sheffield, England, where as a youth and young man he 
mastered the processes involved in the manufacture of edge-tools. 
After emigrating to America, in 1850, he was employed at Roches- 
ter, N. Y., and later he worked at the Old Junction shop in Wor- 
cester, Mass. While at Worcester, in 1853, with his brother, 
Richard T., under the firm name of "Buck Brothers," he began 
the manufacture of edge-tools, especially chisels. In 1864 the 
industry was moved to the Andrus March privilege on Dorothy 
Stream, Millbury. At the beginning Mr. Buck had little capital, 
and the rise which he later made to industrial and business success 
was largely due to his own efforts. In 1873, Mr. Buck withdrew 
from the firm of Buck Brothers and established a separate industry 
(see Chap. XX.) on the Grafton Road, where he manufactured 
edge-tools of the highest grade. 

Mr. Buck was a member of the Methodist Church for nearly 
fifty years and for a considerable period was a class leader and 
superintendent of the Sunday school. 

Richard T. Buck 
Richard T. Buck, born in 1832, was a native of Sheffield, Eng., 
a place noted for the manufacture of cutlery. He was educated 
in the schools of his native town, and graduated from the People's 
College. After learning the trade of a tool-maker in his native 
land, he came to this country and located at Worcester, Mass., 
in 1853. 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, A-C 



417 



Mr. Buck was a man of strong personality and strict integrity. 
He was a loyal and liberal member of the Second Congregational 
Church. He was a successful man of business, a good judge of 
men, and an able financier. As trustee of the Millbury Savings 
Bank his advice helped to make that institution then and now one 
of the best in the state. Mr. Buck took great interest in "Buck's 
village" which he was instrumental in founding and in the welfare 
of its inhabitants. 

His wife, Miss Elizabeth Edge, came from Manchester, England, 
and like him, she was interested in the welfare of the community. 
Their good deeds exemplified their Christian belief and character, 
for their lives here were a blessing to the community. Mr. Buck 
died in 1893. 

(See Buck Bros., page 276.) 

Major-General Caleb Burbank 

Maj.-Gen. Caleb Burbank was descended from John Burbank 
who settled in Rowley, Mass., about 1640. He was the eldest son 
of Capt. Abijah Burbank and was born in Sutton, July 18, 1761. 
As a youth he worked on the farm of his father and learned the art 
of paper-making in his father's paper mill at Bramanville. (See 
"Industries on the Singletary. ") 

It was as a paper manufacturer that General Burbank was best 
known in the industrial world, although he also owned a part in 
most of the other mills on that stream. He greatly steadied the 
outflow of the water from the pond by raising its level several feet 
and he also built a storage basin for the paper-mill. When it had 
passed into his possession he added both to the quantity and the 
quality of the output of paper from the paper-mill. 

General Burbank was in the prime of his manhood when Mill- 
bury was set off as a separate town from Sutton and at the time 
he was probably the richest and most prominent man in the new 
town. He selected the name "Millbury" for the town and, 
apparently by his sole influence, prevented the adoption of some 
other name (see Annals, 1813). 

In personal appearance General Burbank was of medium height, 
about one hundred and forty pounds in weight, erect, and moved 
with a martial step. His portrait, done in oil colors, is displayed 
in the Public Library. Col. A. H. Waters in his copy of the "His- 



27 



418 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

tory of Sutton," made the following note concerning General 
Burbank, "General Burbank was for many years a conspicuous 
character. He always came to church at the 'Old Common' in 
a hack drawn by a span of white horses with a driver and surround- 
ed by a bevy of young, beautiful girls whom he employed in his 
paper mill works. He was generous, public-spirited and kind- 
hearted." He was reputed to have been exceedingly generous. 
As an instance we may cite that, when the house of Stephen Blanch- 
ard was burned, General Burbank went the next day to view the 
ruins and at the time presented Mr. Blanchard with one thousand 
dollars as a help toward rebuilding. Although a man of a kind 
disposition General Burbank is reputed to have been strict in his 
military and business affairs. He loved the pomp attached to his 
military rank and undoubtedly exercised his command with un- 
compromising rigor. 

For twenty-eight years he was an officer in the state militia. 
He was commissioned lieutenant, in 1790; captain, in 1794; major, 
in 1797; lieutenant-colonel, in 1801; brigadier-general, in 1807; 
and major-general, in 1813. Five years later he was dismissed 
from the service. 

General Burbank built a residence, pretentious for those days, 
on Burbank Hill (see chapter on "Old Houses"). 

In his old age the General met with financial reverses, but it is 
to the credit of Millbury officials that, in consideration of what 
he had done for the town, a comfortable home was secured for 
him in the family of Deacon Tyrus March.

George Lewis Chase 

George Lewis, son of Paul Gushing and Sarah P. Chase, was born 
in Millbury, Jan. 13, 1828. His education was received at Mill- 
bury Academy. He began his business career at the age of nine- 
teen, as agent of the Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Company of 
Georgetown, Mass., of which he was afterward elected a director. 
In 1848, he became traveling agent for the People's Insurance 
Company of Worcester, and retained this position until 1852, 
when he was appointed assistant superintendent of the Central 
Ohio Railway. He continued in the railroad business until 1860 



2 5 





INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, A~C 419 

when he returned to his first love, the fire insurance business, 
becoming the western general agent of the New England Fire 
Insurance company of Hartford. 

In 1863, Mr. Chase became assistant western general agent of 
the company and it was only four years later that he was offered 
the presidency of the Hartford Fire Insurance Company. He took 
office in June, 1867, continuing to be president for over forty 
years, and its remarkable growth and prosperity under his admin- 
istration are well known. Since President Chase assumed its 
management, the company has experienced some extremely dis- 
astrous conflagrations, notably those in Chicago, in Boston, in 
Baltimore and in San Francisco. 

In the administration of the affairs of his company Mr. Chase 
was always progressive, even in office details. He was the first 
to suggest the use of the telephone for communication with other 
local fire insurance offices, and the Hartford, the Phoenix, and the 
Aetna offices had such communication at an early date constituting 
what was really the introduction of the telephone service into the 
city of Hartford. The Hartford company was also a pioneer in 
the employment of stenographers, and in the use of the typewritten 
letter. 

He was elected president of the National board of fire under- 
writers, and he has been prominent in the work of its committees. 

Mr. Chase's business activity was not wholly confined to the 
company of which he was president, nor to the insurance field. 
His counsel was sought in other places in which sound judgment 
is valued. At the time of his death, he was a vice-president of 
the Society for Savings, a trustee of the Connecticut Trust and 
Safe Deposit company, and a director of the American National 
Bank of Hartford, Conn. 

Mr. Chase was a prominent Congregationalist, and was several 
times elected president of the Connecticut Congregational club. 
He died at Hartford, Conn., Jan. 7, 1908. Soon after his death, 
his son, Charles E. Chase, was advanced from the office of first 
vice-president to that of president, but because of ill health Mr. 
Charles E. Chase resigned from the presidency of the company, 
Aug. 6, 1913. He was, however, subsequently elected to the chair- 
manship of the Board of Directors, a new office. 



420 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Samuel Chase 

Samuel Chase, son of Daniel and Sarah March Chase, was born 
Sept. 28, 1707, at Newbury, Mass. After spending parts of 
two years at Littleton, Mass., about 1733 he came with his 
father who was known as "miller" Chase to that part of 
Sutton which includes the present town of Millbury. The father 
owned a mill that was located at the place now called "Pleasant 
Falls "on the Blackstone or, as it was then called, the Half Way 
River. 

Before his majority, he married, first, in May, 1728, Mary Dud- 
ley. At Pleasant Falls, for a number of years he also owned one 
half of a saw mill, with the dam, privilege of the water, etc. In 
December, 1740, he, in company with Francis Dudley, Perez Rice, 
Samuel Barton and Benjamin Morse, for 100 pounds, bought 
five-sixths of five acres of land of Benjamin Gowing on "Halfway" 
River, with the privilege of the river for building of dams and for 
flowing, as they should see fit. This was the water privilege in 
"Armory Village" on the old Armory site, and its first occupancy. 
He seems to have been an active member of the Company. In 
November, 1742, he had a house on the land and he made an 
additional purchase of three acres in his own name. He helped to 
establish the first industry at this place, an iron refinery, which is 
mentioned at this time. In 1878 he sold his interest in this busi- 
ness to John Hazeltine. 

About 1765, he moved to Cornish, New Hampshire, for, in 1767, 
he is mentioned among the town officers as selectman. 

He was later commissioned as a magistrate and was judge of 
the court of common pleas "for ye County of Cheshire." His 
son, Dudley, was the father of Bishop Philander Chase and grand- 
father of Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase. Gen. Jonathan Chase 
of New Hampshire, the assistant of Brig.-Gen. Stark in the Revo- 
lution, was his son, to whom General Stark gives the credit for 
practically fighting the campaign in the Revolution, which 
brought about the surrender of the British Army at Saratoga. 

Judge Chase was the leading man of his time in Cornish, and 
many of his descendants have since been prominent. He died 
in Cornish, N. H., at the age of 93 years.

Michael Coogan 

Michael Coogan was born in Ireland where he was trained to be 
a gardener, but as a young man he emigrated to America and came 
to Millbury. He worked at first for the Waters and Goodell 
Company when their mill was built at Bramanville. He after- 
ward purchased from this company a small mill at Pleasant Falls, 
on the road to Wilkinsonville, where he worked on shoddy. In 
1850, a little below the Greenwood Crossing on North Main St., 
he built a small mill which later became known as the "Burling 
Mill." The last years of his life were spent with his adopted 
daughter, Mrs. Callahan, on the Grafton Road, near the County 
Bridge. 

Hosea Crane 

In 1849, Hosea Crane moved to Millbury, and established 
the business of manufacturing knit goods. At first this was con- 
ducted on a small scale, but it steadily increased and, in 1857, 
he took as a partner, Samuel A. Waters, thus making the firm of 
Crane & Waters. A year later Horace Waters succeeded to the 
interest of Samuel A. Waters, and a large and prosperous business 
was carried on for many years. This firm introduced the manufac- 
ture of knit underwear in this part of the country. 

Mr. Crane was chosen a director of the Millbury Bank, in 1856, 
and was made president, in 1863, continuing in this position for 
sixteen years. He was also first vice-president of the Millbury 
Savings Bank. He was a man of strict integrity, and the confi- 
dence accorded him by his fellow townsmen is shown by the numer- 
ous offices of trust and responsibility to which he was called. He 
was once elected state senator, twice a representative, several 
times a member of the board of selectmen, and often chosen to 
other important offices. At the funeral service of Mr. Crane, the 
Rev. George A. Putnam, of the First Congregational Church, paid 
the following tribute: "He believed in God's Word, and was a 
keeper of the Christian Sabbath. He prized Gospel ordinances, 
and few are they who have so uniformly occupied their places at 
church, through a long series of years as he. Elsewhere he will 
be missed. Our manufacturers and bank officials have lost one 
of their most cautious advisers. Our town has lost an honorable 
and highly-esteemed citizen, and our own parish, one of its most 
able and benevolent supporters." 



422 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

James M. Cronin 

James M., son of James and Bridget Cronin, was born in Brain- 
wood, Illinois, but his life had been spent in Millbury since a boy. 
He was in the general store business for twenty-five years, starting 
in a small way with his brother Thomas J. Cronin, in the Dudley 
Building on Elm street. After a few years he bought the interest 
of his brother, and was thereafter alone in the business, which 
grew under his management. He bought the building known as 
the Fairfield Block on Elm street, and later as Cronin Building. 
He sold the block in 1911 to James J. Grogan, but continued his 
store in one side of the building. He was a member of several 
fraternal organizations, and at the time of his death was on the 
school board. He died in Millbury Dec. 3, 1912. 

Winthrop R. Cunningham 

Winthrop R. Cunningham, a well-known business man, was born 
in Spencer, Mass., in 1820. Coming to Millbury at the age of 
seventeen he entered the employ of Waters, Flagg and Harrington, 
then engaged in the manufacture of guns, with whom he worked 
for several years. He was afterwards engaged in the foundry 
business with Matthias Felton, and later with John Martin. 
Following this he dealt in stoves and hardware on the site now 
occupied by "The Millbury Journal" building, but later he bought 
the old Randall block (Main and Elm Sts.), and transferred his 
business there. His son, R. Clark Cunningham, afterwards be- 
came a partner. In 1895, the building was destroyed by fire. 
After a short interval the present block was erected by Mr. Cun- 
ningham and the business was continued. His son succeeded him 
in the business.

CHAPTER XXX 

INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, D-H 

James Dike 
James Dike was a descendant of a family which early settled 
in Sutton. He was an old-time employee at the armory in 
Millbury Center, where he was engaged in welding gun-barrels. 
He was a very efficient workman, enjoying the confidence of his 
employers and the esteem of his associates. Among his fellow 
workmen were the Lilleys, who were also excellent iron workers. 
At his decease in his eighty-third year, Mr. Dike had been a resi- 
dent in Millbury for over fifty years. 

Jason Emerson 

Jason Emerson, one of the old time manufacturers, is pleasantly 
remembered by the older citizens as one who took much interest 
in local affairs. He was greatly respected and filled an important 
place in the early activities of the town. The firm of Emerson 
& Brierly was located at Bramanville. His connection with the 
mill industry brought him prominently before the people of the 
county. 

Gen. Joseph Farnsworth 

General Farnsworth 's name among business men appears in the 
early history of our town, and, before that, in the Sutton records. 
He was made a Brigadier-general of the First Brigade in the 
Seventh Division of Massachusetts Militia. He afterwards moved 
to the state of New York, where he died, in 1855. The name of 
Farnsworth has been conspicuous in all the various departments 
of life in Millbury, but, like that of many of the old families, it 
has disappeared, either by death or removal. Further records of 
General Farnsworth will be found elsewhere in this history. 

Matthias Felton 

Matthias Felton, of the firm of Felton & Co., was the son of Joel 
and Susannah Felton. He engaged in mechanical business first 



424 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

with his brother Newell at New England Village, now North 
Grafton. About 1840, he removed to Millbury and established 
an iron foundry which assumed considerable proportions. He 
conducted this successfully until his removal to Philadelphia, 
in 1861. He died, March 5, 1881. He was a public spirited 
citizen, much respected by his fellow-townsmen, having been one 
of the selectmen in 1855. 

Benjamin Flagg 

Benjamin Flagg, a prominent manufacturer, was born in 
Worcester, Mass., in 1807. He was a descendant in the seventh 
generation of Thomas Flagg who emigrated from England as 
early as 1637 and settled at Watertown, Mass. He received his 
education in the schools of Worcester, and at the Academy in 
Hadley, Mass. He was early associated with Col. A. H. Waters 
in gun-work under the firm name of Waters & Flagg. A milling- 
machine for iron work was here invented by Mr. Flagg. Later 
its operation was extended to the working of wood. Mr. Flagg 
was a man of strong convictions and positive ideas. His con- 
nection with the Millbury Cotton mills in the firm of Waters, 
Harrington and Flagg may be found in the chapter devoted to 
business on the Blackstone. 

Silas M. Freeman 

Silas M. Freeman was for many years a resident of this town, 
having come here from Sturbridge, Mass. He was one of the old 
time stage-drivers who drove at times from Sturbridge to Worces- 
ter and also from West Sutton to Woodstock, Conn. 

At one time, while carrying several passengers in his stage-coach 
from Worcester to Sturbridge, one of his horses became balky, 
whereupon Mr. Freeman, knowing the horse's vicious disposition, 
gave him a hard lashing. One of the passengers remonstrated 
with him for using the whip so freely, but Mr. Freeman, knowing 
the disposition of the horse better than the passenger, was quite 
vexed with the action of the horse and with the man's interference, 
so he told the traveller to "shut up," or the whip would be put 
over him. Upon arriving at Sturbridge the passengers alighted 
and one of them said to Mr. Freeman, "Do you know who that 
man is whom you threatened to whip?" "No!" replied Mr. 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, D-H 425 

Freeman, "and I don't care; I'm running this stage. Who is he?" 
"That man," said the passenger, "is John Quincy Adams, Presi- 
dent of the United States." 

At another time General Lafayette was one of his passengers. 
It was after his stage days were over that Mr. Freeman resided in 
Millbury, having charge of the town farm for several years. 
Upon retiring from this position he bought a small place, situated 
on the Old Common, where he passed the remainder of his days. 
In manner and appearance Mr. Freeman was rather gruff, but he 
was one of the best and most kind hearted of men. 

Dr. Leonard Gale 

Dr. Leonard Gale was born in that part of Sutton which became 
Millbury, July 25, 1800. He received his early education in the 
local public schools. Colonel Waters, who was an intimate friend 
of Dr. Gale, gave many years ago some interesting facts in regard 
to Dr. Gale's connection with Morse and the electric telegraph. 
He said that Professor Morse first took the idea from Dr. Jackson 
of Boston but, as Professor Morse was wholly lacking in scientific 
knowledge and training, his experiments were unsuccessful. In 
his extremity, he took Dr. Gale into his counsel, who, being a 
scientific man, and familiar with electricity, constructed the 
apparatus which made the telegraph a success. The studies and 
experiments by Prof. Joseph Henry, once of the Smithsonian 
Institution, also contributed greatly. Thus the real inventors 
were Dr. Jackson, Professor Henry, and Dr. Leonard Gale. Pro- 
fessor Morse only invented the dash and dot alphabet. To 
Professor Morse, however, belongs the credit of bringing the 
invention before the public, securing government aid in the con- 
struction of the first line between Washington and Baltimore, 
and so accomplishing its commercial success. The first line was 
constructed under the direction of Dr. Gale and was entirely suc- 
cessful. Dr. Gale occupied a professor's chair in several colleges, 
and was for many years an examiner in the patent office at Wash- 
ington. 

Moses D. Garfield 

The old saying that "An honest man's the noblest work of God" 
may be applied to the subject of this sketch. Moses D. Garfield, 
son of Andrew B. and Hannah (Dwinnel) Garfield, was born in 



426 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Auburn, Mass., in 1835. Except for a few years of early manhood 
which were passed in Sutton, from infancy until the close of his 
long and useful life, he resided in Millbury. His education was 
received in the public schools of this town and the events of his 
after life give evidence that he made good use of his opportunities. 
Upon reaching majority he entered the employ of Ezra Marble, 
senior, then engaged in the manufacture of shuttles and shuttle 
irons at Sutton, with whom he worked until 1863, when he became 
a member of the firm of Wilder, Searles & Garfield. 

During the war of the rebellion, when the price of shuttle-eyes 
was high, the importation of porcelain shuttle-eyes, which pre- 
viously had come from Europe, was diminished, so that manufac- 
turers were obliged to use those taken from old worn-out shuttles. 
A shuttle-eye is small, but the millions of shuttles, plying back and 
forth in the almost countless number of looms throughout our 
country, make considerable wear and tear on the eye of the shuttle, 
so that this diminutive article becomes one of considerable impor- 
tance in its construction, baking and glazing. The unsatisfactory 
method of using old eyes gave Mr. Garfield his opportunity. 
This quiet, unassuming man said little, but thought much, and, 
like Thomas Blanchard, he became impressed with an idea. He 
believed that shuttle-eyes could be made in this country as well 
as in Europe. He severed his connection with his partners, in 
1864, and began to carry his idea to completion, having purchased 
a location on Tainter Hill, in Millbury. After many experiments, 
his endeavors proved to be a complete success and he had almost 
a monopoly in the manufacture of these goods, producing a shuttle- 
eye that was of such superior merit that no other manufacturer 
was ever able to equal him in the enduring quality of his product. 

The secret of manufacturing these articles of porcelain did not 
die with Mr. Garfield, but it was imparted to his daughter, Eliza- 
beth M. Garfield, who, since his death, has continued the business 
founded by her father. 

In addition to his constant labors in these lines of manufacture, 
Mr. Garfield did much surveying, in which he was careful and 
proficient. No man was better acquainted with the lines, metes 
and bounds of old estates hereabout. 




IRA NATHANIEL GODDARD 
1830 - 1914 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, D~H 427 

Ira N. Goddard 

In 1853, Ira N. Goddard was chosen town clerk and he continued 
to hold this position, so that the centennial year marked the 
sixty-first in his term of office, and at the time of his death he had 
been elected for the sixty-second time. No other town clerk in 
the Commonwealth can show such long continued service and it is 
doubtful if another can be found in the entire country who is able 
to equal it. 

Mr. Goddard started his business career in partnership with his 
father as a retail dealer in boots and shoes and at the latter 's death 
he continued the business alone for several years. In addition to 
his duties as a town clerk he also built up a large business in fire 
insurance. His familiarity, also, with the records of the town 
made his assistance valuable to all who had occasion to delve into 
the transactions of past days, for since his occupancy of the office 
of Town Clerk great changes had taken place in the town, but 
he was responsive and efficient amid all the demands which were 
made upon him. 

Although not a lawyer by profession yet Mr. Goddard's intimate 
connection with local affairs and his familiarity with the statutes 
relating to them caused many people to seek his advice in legal 
matters. He was instrumental in securing pensions for many 
soldiers, for he ever took a warm interest in the welfare of those 
who enlisted for the defence of the Union. He was a representa- 
tive to the legislature in 1905, but he declined a re-election. Young 
in appearance, even in his latter days, genial and courteous to all, 
few men who have held public office so notably have laid claim to 
the good will and endorsement of such a host of friends. For 
many years Mr. Goddard was a member of the Second Congre- 
gational church. In 1897, he was elected president of the Millbury 
Savings Bank. 

(See Genealogy.) 

Nathaniel Goddard 
Nathaniel Goddard came to Millbury from Royalston, Mass., 
in 1819. He immediately engaged in the manufacture of boots and 
shoes for the local trade. In 1826, his brother, Danforth, became 
a partner with him, and they carried on the business under the 
firm name of N. & D. Goddard for eight years, after which Dan- 
forth retired. Abner Rice then went into partnership with Mr. 



428 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Goddard and they continued the business under the firm name of 
Goddard & Rice. Trade increased with them from year to year 
and soon they had a good southern and western business. In 
1841, George H. Rice became identified with the company, which 
then became Goddard, Rice & Co. and, in addition to the making 
of boots and shoes, they began the currying of leather. In 1844, 
Abner Rice retired and the company name became again Goddard 
& Rice. In 1851, the firm dissolved and Ira N. Goddard became 
a partner with his father, so that the firm became N. Goddard & 
Son. This company retailed boots and shoes, and kept for a long 
time the only store of the kind in town. Mr. Goddard attended 
daily at his store, until 1887, the year of his death. 

Mr. Goddard was a deacon of the Second Congregational Church 
for fifty years. Throughout his long business life, he was ever 
found to be a man of truth, honor and integrity. He was a strong 
anti-slavery man and sought to do away with the liquor traffic. 
Genial and kind in his manner, respected by all, he made friends 
on every hand. 

Rev. Joseph Goffe 

The following article is taken from extracts of a manuscript 
prepared by the Rev. Joseph Goffe, near the close of his life. He 
died at the age of seventy-nine, six years after this was written. 

The Rev. Joseph Goffe was born in Bedford, N. H., near the 
western bank of the Merrimac River, August 6, 1766. His father's 
name was John Goffe, and his mother's maiden name was Jemima 
Holden of Groton, Mass. They had a family of eleven children, 
seven sons and four daughters, of whom he was the sixth son and 
eighth child in succession. His father was a farmer by profession, 
but bore military commissions under both George II. and George 
III. and served in the wars with the Indians and French in Canada. 
His father was usually called Major John Goffe, and he was the 
only son of Col. John Goffe of Derryfield (now Manchester), N. H. 
His grandfather was the only son of John Goffe, Esq., who was the 
son of John Goffe who fled to this country from England in 1662- 
63. This last named John Goffe was without doubt related to 
William Goffe, the regicide, who was a general in Cromwell's army, 
and was appointed by him as one of the judges who condemned 
King Charles I. to die on the scaffold, in January, 1618, and who, 
upon the restoration, together with his father-in-law, Whalley, 




>j 




INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, D~H 429 

another of the regicide judges, fled to this country as outlaws, 
whither they were pursued by the King's officers, but were never 
overtaken. 

He went to Dartmouth College, was received into the Sopho- 
more Class, and graduated in 1791, with a class of nearly fifty 
students, the largest class that then had ever been in that college. 
His next step was to apply himself to the study of the Bible and 
to systematic theology. Accordingly, immediately after leaving 
college, he put himself under the care and instruction of the Rev. 
Dr. Burton of Thetford, Vt., with whom he lived and studied 
about three months. In May, 1792, he went to New Haven, Conn., 
and put himself under the guidance and instruction of Dr. Jonathan 
Edwards (the younger Edwards) with whom he studied about six 
months. In December of the same year he was called to Sutton. 

The terms of his settlement at the North Parish were five hun- 
dred dollars, two hundred fifty dollars yearly salary, and ten 
cords of wood annually. With this small salary he maintained 
himself and family, and laid up a little every year, for about fifteen 
years, when, on account of the depreciation of the currency, the 
parish added one hundred dollars to his yearly salary, making it 
three hundred fifty dollars, which was the most he ever received. 

After preaching to this people as candidate and pastor for the 
space of thirty-eight years, after witnessing seven distinct 
seasons of special revival, and after receiving nearly four hundred 
members into the church he was released from the stated labors of 
the ministry at the age of 64 years, and retired under comfortable 
circumstances into the more private walks of life. 

The chief instrumentality he used for the instruction of his people 
and the promoting and conducting of revivals was a plain and 
simple exhibition of divine truth. His great aim was to address 
the understanding, judgment and conscience of his auditory and, 
if possible, make them enlightened, judicious and consistent 
Christians. His system of doctrines was generally that taught 
by the Edwards, father and son, Bellamy, Hopkins and Emmons. 
His sermons were not hasty effusions of the moment, nor were 
they thrown together on the spur of the occasion, but were well 
and carefully studied and written out in full. More than nine- 
tenths of his sermons were double, that is, two from the same text, 
one for the forenoon and one for the afternoon of the Sabbath, 
and he attributed to this method no small part of this success. 



430 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

He assisted in instituting the present American Board of Com- 
missioners for Foreign Missions for he was a member of the General 
Association, which met in Bradford in 1810, and was made chair- 
man of the committee of overtures. His old friend, the late Dr. 
Spring, of Newburyport, aided by the professors of Andover and 
several others, had formed and matured the grand design of insti- 
tuting such a Board, with a view to the conversion of the whole 
world to Christ. The good doctor desired him to put some notice 
of it on his minutes, as he did, and laid it before the Association 
for their consideration and action. The Association adopted the 
plan, and proceeded to choose the first Board of Commissioners, 
in which he acted by his voice and by his vote. 

He wrote and published nearly two thousand sermons written 
out in full, with a variety of addresses, tracts, dissertations and 
essays all in manuscript with a small volume of "Lectures on the 
Millennium." 

On the 20th of December, 1796, more than two years after his 
ordination, he was married to Miss Elizabeth Waters, daughter of 
Ebenezer Waters of Sutton. They lived very happily together 
for more than forty-two years. She died on the 26th of January, 
1839, aged sixty-eight years. They had five children, two sons 
and three daughters, all of whom lived to come to maturity. 

(See Genealogy.) 

Capt. Joseph Griggs 

Thomas Griggs came from Brookline to Sutton and bought 
what was then known as the White place, which is still in posses- 
sion of his descendants. July 4, 1776, a day memorable in the 
history of our country, Thomas Griggs led to the altar as his young 
bride, Mary Goddard, of Grafton. Three children were born to 
them, among the number being Joseph, the subject of this sketch, 
whose birth was at the old homestead in Sutton, Nov. 3, 1786. 
After spending his childhood upon his father's farm, as a young 
man he went to Charlton, and learned the tanner's trade of Colonel 
Bacon, a famous tanner of those days. Associated with him at 
that time in learning the trade, was Calvin Crane, who was after- 
wards employed by him at West Millbury. Young Griggs worked 
at his trade in Northampton, Mass., but when business became dull 
and the employer stated to his workmen that he should be obliged 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, D~H 431 

to reduce the number of his men, without waiting for any one to 
be named as among those to leave, Joseph volunteered to be 
among the number. 

He returned to Sutton and went to school and later he taught 
school in Millbury. Soon after this, he went to Providence and 
worked at his trade but soon returned to Sutton. Near the farm- 
house of Charles Halberg in West Millbury, Mr. Griggs maintained 
a tannery with Colonel Fay, of Westboro. Some time after this 
a tannery was begun on the water privilege located just below the 
wool-scouring mill now operated by A. D. Windle at West Mill- 
bury. The persons associated with Mr. Griggs at that time, and 
later, were Mr. Abbot, Benjamin Whitney, Lieut. John Jacobs, 
Colonel Fay and other West Millbury people. A stock company 
was formed but one member after another withdrew, so that the 
company remained Griggs, Abbot & Whitney. Meeting with 
financial reverses Mr. Abbot assumed the debts of the company 
in Rhode Island, and Mr. Griggs those in Massachusetts. Thus 
he showed his integrity and his high sense of honor for the debts 
which he assumed were paid in full, principal and interest. He 
resumed business, and was associated for a short time with the 
late Capt. Amasa Wood. 

The coolness with which Captain Griggs met every disaster, 
was well shown at the time his tannery was burned, many years 
ago. As related by Mr. William G. Davidson, Captain Griggs, 
when informed of the fire, calmly dressed himself and started to do 
what he could to save his property, without the excitement char- 
acteristic of most men at such a time. Fearing that a tall chim- 
ney, which was left standing, would fall, he requested the people 
assisting, to leave his property to suffer, rather than risk their 
lives for his benefit. Suddenly, Mr. John C. Davidson was missed 
by Captain Griggs, who expressed much solicitude for him as 
he was to be found nowhere about the scene, and the captain 
went home, to look for him there. Soon Mr. Davidson appeared, 
and the captain was so overjoyed at his coming, that he fell upon 
his knees and thanked God for his friend's safe keeping, praising 
his Maker, that amidst all the calamaties that had befallen him, 
the life of his friend had been spared. As described by one who 
heard it, "the prayer was the most fervent and effectual one he 
ever heard." 



432 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Captain Griggs was a member of the Baptist church in Millbury. 
He assisted in its organization, and labored ever to advance its 
interests. It is related of him that when on one Sunday a man 
called at his door, and wished to transact some business, Captain 
Griggs told him plainly that he never transacted business on the 
Sabbath, and the man left. 

He took great interest in the schools of the town, at all times 
seeking to advance the cause of education. He was also a good 
singer, and took great interest in that part of religious exercises. 
He was a man much respected in the community, having great 
influence with the help he employed. The young stood in awe 
of him yet they loved and respected him. Every industrious man 
that wanted work was furnished with it if it was a possible thing 
for him to do. It is related of the captain that, when a man 
whose note he held was taken sick and in need of assistance, Cap- 
tain Griggs immediately went to him, gave him the note and inside 
of it several dollars to help him in his misfortune. He was prom- 
inent in the anti-slavery cause, and ever looked forward to the 
time when all in the country should be free. 

Captain Griggs was a large man and of commanding presence. 
He was commissioned as captain in the Massachusetts Militia. 
He married a daughter of Jonathan Trask, of West Millbury, 
by whom he had several children, among whom were Almira, and 
Mary T., wife of Mr. Jonathan Munyan, of Worcester. After 
the death of Lieutenant Trask, his large farm came into the pos- 
session of Captain Griggs, who occupied it for many years, until 
his removal to Worcester, where he died Dec. 6, 1852, respected 
and honored by all who knew him. 

The Honorable Henry Clay Hall 

The Hon. Henry Clay Hall served for nearly thirty consecutive 
years in the diplomatic service of the United States in Cuba and 
Central America, serving under eight Presidents, from Buchanan 
to Cleveland, a record that is believed to be without parallel in 
the history of the diplomatic service of the country. Much of his 
work was rendered during critical and important times in the his- 
tory of the nation. He was in Havana, Cuba, as consul-general 
during the exciting years of the Civil War, where his life was in 
great danger, but he remained at his post of duty to the end. His 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, D~H 433 

conduct of the affairs of his office at that time attracted wide atten- 
tion and won for him the esteem of the President and other officials 
of the government. He became interested in the Nicaragua Canal, 
and drafted the original treaty for its building. In 1882, Mr. Hall 
received from President Arthur a commission as Envoy Extraor- 
dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the five Central American 
states, and continued his residence at Guatamala until 1889. 
The last years of Mr. Hall's life were spent in Millbury where he 
was greatly respected. He died here Oct. 29, 1901. 

In 1856 Mr. Hall married Miss Leila Echeverria who was born 
in Cuba, but who spent her early girlhood at the home of Mr. 
Ebenezer Waters Goffe, at the Old Common, Millbury, in com- 
pany with her life-long friend, Mrs. Elizabeth Goffe Peirce. 
Mrs. Hall's youth, however, was spent on the plantation of her 
family in Cuba where she was reared amid the advantages of 
wealth and luxury. After her marriage to Mr. Hall in this coun- 
try she lived at Havana amid the society of the diplomatic corps 
and American residents. She was a close student of her husband's 
duties and sympathetically supported him in his tasks. 

Mrs. Hall was an artist of some merit and painted in oil colors 
several Cuban scenes with unusual appreciation of local coloring. 
She was also well-known for her exquisite needle-work. 

After Mr. Hall's death Mrs. Hall continued to reside in Millbury, 
having as her companion the friend of her early girlhood, Mrs. 
Elizabeth W. Peirce, widow of the Rev. Charles H. Peirce. 

Mrs. Hall died in 1915. 

Thomas J. Harrington 

Thomas J., son of Noah Harrington, was born at Worcester, 
Mass., in 1804. His education was received in his native city but, 
in 1826, he came to Millbury where he was employed at the armory 
of Asa Waters. In 1845, in company with Asa H. Waters and 
Benj. Flagg, he built the Millbury Cotton Mills. In 1847 he sold 
an interest which he had in a woolen company. 

Mr. Harrington was highly respected. At one time he was 
president of the Millbury Savings Bank. He served for a short 
time as Town Clerk. 



28 



434 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Mr. Harrington married Eliza, daughter of deacon Elijah 
Waters, whose home was at the corner of Main and Elm streets. 
Mr. Harrington resided here and later in the adjoining house on 
Elm Street. 

William Harrington, a brother of Thomas J., erected the Har- 
rington Block in Worcester and from him the corner received its 
name. 

(See Genealogy.) 

William H. Harrington 

William H. Harrington, son of William, was born in Worcester, 
in 1824. The emigrant ancestor was Robert Harrington, who 
settled in Watertown, Mass., as early as 1642 and, in 1648, married 
Susanna George of that place. An ancestor served in the Revolu- 
tionary War. 

Mr. Harrington was a highly respected citizen and is well-remem- 
bered by the older people. He was closely identified with the 
industrial life of the town. 

Chauncy G. Harrington, a brother of William H., was formerly 
employed in town in the manufacture of iron tools. 

William H. Harrington was a principal factor in the ownership 
and operation of the Atlanta Mills and in that connection he ac- 
quired much real estate including the Randall Block. 

He married a daughter of Elder Forbes. 

Ithran Harris 
Ithran Harris, a soldier of the War of 1812, lived on High St., 
Bramanville. At one time he was engaged in the manufacture of 
shoes. He held a commission as Justice of the Peace and held 
court in the house later occupied by Hosea Crane. He was com- 
monly called "Judge" Harris and was highly respected. 

Col. Jonathan Holman 

Jonathan Holman was born in that part of Sutton now included 
in West Millbury, in 1732. He was a son of Solomon, Jr., and a 
grandson of Solomon Holman of Newbury, Mass. His mother, 
the second wife of Solomon, Jr., was Mercy Waters of Sutton. 
In 1742, he was one of the petitioners for a new, or second, parish 
in Sutton. 

Colonel Holman had a good share of the military spirit in him, 
for the tidings of the Boston massacre in 1770 raised the blood in

his veins to the fever point. Twelve years before, he had bravely 
fought for England in the Colonial war and, when the call to arms 
came in 1775 to resist aggression, the men of the North parish 
quickly responded and they had in him a tutor who knew by experi- 
ence that grim-visaged war meant death to many strong, brave 
breasts. His old musket of the days of the French war had been 
laid aside with its scars of a contest that had been waged fiercely 
in behalf of the mother land, but it was replaced by a sword drawn 
in the cause of freedom for the American people. A firm friend 
of Colonel Holman at this time was Ebenezer Learned, of Oxford, 
who, though connected with those opposing the patriot's cause, 
bravely espoused the side of freedom. With Mr. Holman he had 
bravely fought in the war with France, and had participated in 
the conquest of Canada. In 1775, Learned was early in the field, 
and he sought Jonathan Holman, who was chosen Major, as one 
of the officers of the regiment which he had organized. With 
other brave-hearted men he was at Bunker Hill to shield the 
patriot homes near that spot sacred to the cause of liberty. Soon 
the 5th Massachusetts regiment was organized, and its command 
was bestowed upon Colonel Holman. In 1776, after Boston was 
evacuated by the British, Gen. William Heath was ordered to 
New York, from Massachusetts. On the thirtieth day of March 
he arrived there; on July 27, he wrote as follows in his diary: "A 
regiment of militia, under command of Colonel Holman, arrived 
from Massachusetts." On the twenty-seventh day of August 
Holman's regiment received a baptism of fire near New York 
that steeled the hearts of his men for yet harder conflicts which 
were to follow. In October, his regiment met the foe at White 
Plains and although no great advantage was gained, yet it nobly 
bore its part in the fray and the entire command under Colonel 
Holman received the commendations of the superior officers. 
Some time after the battle of White Plains, Colonel Holman and 
his men were sent to Rhode Island on an alarm, and remained there 
during December, 1776, and January, 1777. On Sept. 26, 1777, 
his regiment of militia was sent to reinforce the northern army. 
He was at Bennington where the regiment was engaged in opposing 
the invasion of Burgoyne and at Saratoga, on October 17, he took 
part in the fight which not only humbled that general but marked 
the turning point of the Revolution in the effectual check of the 
British. Soon after this battle the regiment returned home having 



436 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

been gone on this campaign thirty days. This victory under 
Gates and Schuyler kindled new zeal for the patriot cause and, as 
Wilkinson told the tidings of victory, he exclaimed in a burst of 
enthusiasm, "The whole British army has laid down arms at 
Saratoga." Colonel Holman's active military career ended soon 
after the surrender of Burgoyne, although he did not resign from 
the service until 1779. Peaceful pursuits at home then took the 
attention of the men from the North and South Parishes of Sutton, 
who had borne aloft unsullied, amid disaster and victory, the banner 
of a free people. 

Colonel Holman later became an extensive land owner in Mill- 
bury and in the state of Maine. He was a successful farmer and 
business man. About 1800, he built for his large family a man- 
sion which was considered to be one of the best in the county. 
Having helped to secure the liberties of his country, the old hero 
retired to his extensive farm (now the home of John W. Pierce) 
in West Millbury, and lived there until 1814, when he was gathered 
to his fathers. The old building, a solid and enduring structure, 
is still standing, though dimmed by age. A beautiful lawn reaches 
away to the south, around which lie the pleasant fields once the 
pride of a Holman, who moved here from old Newbury. The 
land joins the farms of Capt. Samuel Trask and Capt. Samuel 
Small, who also went as soldiers to the war of the Revolution. 

Colonel Holman filled many important offices in his native 
place, for his sterling character and sound judgment gave him a 
high standing with his fellow-citizens throughout his life. In 
fact, our honored ex-president, William Howard Taft, may justly 
be proud in having for an ancestor such a worthy man as Jonathan 
Holman. 

Many people find it hard to understand why there are two 
monuments in our cemeteries erected to Colonel Holman, but the 
explanation is that some of his relatives, years after his death, 
wished to have the remains brought to the central Cemetery 
but others, who were more closely related, wished them to remain 
in the place where the body was first interred, which was a portion 
of his father's original farm. Accordingly, a stone to his memory 
was raised in the Central Cemetery by those who failed to have 
their wish granted. Thus in "God's acre" at West Millbury, 
the old North Parish burying ground of Sutton, beneath a towering 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, D~H 437 

marble shaft lie the remains of this Revolutionary hero, and around 
his resting-place the graves of many who contested by his side 
on the battle-fields of our country are scattered. 

The hum of industry is still heard in his native village, the plow- 
still turns the furrow on the broad acres that once were his, the 
cattle graze in the pastures as of old. Where long ago his mill- 
wheels turned round and round, other mills are running and his 
contemporaries have gone the way which all the living must follow. 
Though later generations walk where his feet have often trod, and 
yet later generations will come and go, his record as a man and a 
soldier is written indelibly and on the page inscribed with the list 
of Worcester county heroes no name is more deeply impressed than 
that of Jonathan Holman. 

In the same year that Colonel Holman died his son Elijah, who 
became the residuary legatee under the will of his father, executed 
a bond in favor of his mother-in-law, which conveyed to him the 
entire estate of his father.

Rodney N. Holman 

Rodney Nelson Holman was born in Millbury, Oct. 8, 1834. 
He was a descendant of Lieut. David Holman, a Revolutionary 
soldier. For many years Mr. Holman was engaged in the insur- 
ance business, through which he became well-known throughout 
New England. He enlisted in Company F, 1st Battalion, Mass. 
Heavy Artillery. He was a member of Geo. A. Custer Post, 
G. A. R., and filled important offices in that organization. He 
was a member of Olive Branch Lodge A. F. and A.M., Tyrian Royal 
Arch Chapter, Hiram Council of Worcester, and Adah Chapter, 
Order of Eastern Star. He was an active member of the Second 
Congregational Church. A son, Charles F. Holman, is editor 
and proprietor of "The Millbury Journal," and has served as 
assessor. 

(See Genealogy.) 

Judge John Hopkins 

Judge John Hopkins, born March 19, 1840, was a native of 
Leonard Stanly, England. In 1842, his father, James Hopkins, 
came to America, living for a time in Dracut, Massachusetts, and 



438 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

later moved to Canada. As a boy John Hopkins began work in a 
woolen mill, in West Eaton, N. Y. When sixteen years of age, 
he found employment in a woolen mill, at Waterford, R. I. 
Some time after this he attended school at Andover, at Auburn, 
N. Y., and at Burlington, Vt. He later entered Dartmouth 
College from which he was graduated in 1862. In this same year 
he read law in the office of J. B. Cooke, at Blackstone. He also 
taught school in this state, in Rhode Island, in Vermont, and in 
New Hampshire. In 1864, he was admitted to the bar of Wor- 
cester County, Massachusetts, and for twenty-seven years he was 
a practicing attorney, having an office at Millbury, and one in 
Worcester. 

In 1891, Mr. Hopkins was appointed Judge of the Superior 
Court of the Commonwealth, a position which he held until his 
death. 

Judge Hopkins was an able speaker and his appearance before 
legislative committees carried great weight for his arguments 
were clear, concise, and hard to controvert. He was considered 
one of the ablest criminal lawyers in the state, and stood high as 
an attorney in civil cases. His long connection with the sewerage 
contest between Millbury and Worcester made him extensively 
known. He served the town in many important positions, having 
been representative in the General Court in 1882-1883, selectman, 
member of the school committee, assessor and trustee of the town 
library. 

He married Mary C. Salisbury, of Blackstone, Mass. Their 
children were: Herbert S.; Herman; and Grace. The death of 
Judge Hopkins, which occurred May 19, 1902, removed one of 
our ablest citizens and one who was universally respected. 

Bion B. Howard 

Bion B. Howard resided in Millbury in the 60's and 70's and 
left a wholesome impression on the town. He was a gentleman 
with many interests under his care. Twice he was agent of the 
Cordis Mills which prospered under his direction. In 1872 and 
1873, he was successively on the board of selectmen and he also 
served as cemetery commissioner. In 1879, he was elected a 
director in the Millbury National Bank. He is remembered as 
an owner and admirer of fine horses.

Edwin Hoyle 

Edwin Hoyle came to America in 1852, a. hen a lad of eight, and 
went to live with relatives at Millbury. He received a common 
school education and worked in a cotton mill. He early went 
into business for himself and was a pioneer in the art of waste 
scouring in the United States. His mill was located on a street 
leading from West Main street along Ramshorn Stream and his 
former residence is opposite. In politics Mr. Hoyle was a Repub- 
lican. He was actively interested in public affairs, especially in 
the welfare of the town. 

Samuel E. Hull 

The Hull family is descended from the Rev. Joseph Hull, a 
clergyman of England, who came to this country from Somerset. 
He lived in Hingham, and later became a pastor of the Church at 
Yarmouth. Several of the family resided in Uxbridge and Mill- 
bury. Elias, son of William Hull, of the sixth generation, was 
born in Uxbridge, Mass., in 1806. The farm at the foot of Hull 
Hill, owned by William, descended to Elias who lived there until 
his death in 1871. Samuel E. Hull, son of Elias, was born on this 
farm in 1843, and remained there until he reached his majority. 
He received his education in our public schools, and at Eastman's 
Business College, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Mr. Hull enlisted during 
the Civil War, and served at Fort Warren, Boston harbor. He 
then returned to Millbury, where four years were spent on the 
farm, and in the saw-mill connected therewith. For five years 
he was a wood-molder at Worcester. He next went to Philadel- 
phia, Pa., where he remained three years with a manufacturing 
company. For eleven years, he was employed by the C. D. 
Morse Co., at Millbury. For a year he was engaged as guard at 
the State Prison at Concord. 

Mr. Hull engaged in business for himself, in 1882, succeeding 
Briggs & Co. in the cotton and wool-waste trade, at Millbury. 
In 1892, he succeeded to the wool business of D. C. Sumner in 
Worcester which, together with the business at Millbury, was 
conducted by him until his death. 

Mr. Hull was president of the Millbury National Bank, and a 
trustee of the Millbury Savings Bank. He served as a director 
of the Millbury Water Company for a long period. For several 



440 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

years he was a selectman of the town and for part of the time 
chairman of the Board. For two years he represented the town 
in the House of Representatives, and for two years he was in the 
State Senate. Mr. Hull was a familiar figure in the conventions 
of his party here and elsewhere. 

Mr. Hull saved the lives of five of the townspeople when a horse 
with a carriage containing them backed off a bridge. In recogni- 
tion of this a watch was presented to him by the town, having on 
it this inscription: "In April, 1871, S. E. Hull rescued five per- 
sons from drowning. This watch is presented to him by the town 
of Millbury, Massachusetts, as a testimonial of his services at the 
time. " The pond at which this catastrophe occurred was situated 
at the Hull farm, located on the western side of the Blackstone 
River three-quarters of a mile above Greenwood Crossing. 

(See Annals, 1872.) 

Mr. Hull was a Knight Templar, a member of George A. Custer, 
Post 70, G. A. R., and of the Home Market Club of Boston; also 
a member of the Massachusetts Republican Club, as well as the 
Commonwealth Club of Worcester.

CHAPTER XXXI 

INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, J-S 

Dr. Charles Jewett 

Among the many prominent men who have had a home in Mill- 
bury may be mentioned Dr. Charles Jewett, the noted temperance 
lecturer, and fellow-worker with John B. Gough, John H. W. Haw- 
kins, and others. Dr. Jewett was born in Lisbon, Conn., Sept. 5, 
1807. As a lad, he worked for a time at making nails by hand. 
He received part of his education at the Academy in Plainfield, 
Conn. His medical studies were pursued under Dr. Elijah Bald- 
win, of South Canterbury, Conn. 

Dr. Jewett began the practice of medicine in East Greenwich, 
R. I., in 1829, at the age of twenty-two. He soon became much 
interested in the cause of temperance and from that time until 
his death he labored to do away with the liquor traffic. In after 
years, he bought the farm now owned by Calvin W. Brackett, 
and moved there in 1849. Wm. M. Thayer, in his life of Dr. 
Jewett, says: "From the time the doctor became a citizen of 
Millbury, he identified himself with all that was necessary to 
promote the welfare of the town and the church. The schools, 
the lyceum, the library, and whatever else was indispensable to 
social and intellectual growth, enlisted his deepest interest. 
Especially the moral and spiritual growth of the community 
absorbed his attention. He and his family united with the 
(2d) Congregational Church and Society (then) under the pastoral 
care of Rev. Leverett Griggs. The service which the doctor and 
family rendered to both pastor and people was highly esteemed. 
Dr. Jewett's wit, humor, talents, piety and tact became an 
element in the social, intellectual and moral condition of the town." 
Dr. Griggs in a letter says: "it is with pleasure I pen a few 
thoughts respecting Dr. Charles Jewett. He was a parishioner 
of mine, very much respected and beloved the few years he resided 
in Millbury, Mass. Dr. Jewett was ready for almost any emer- 
gency. In Millbury we were generally favored with a course of 



442 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

lectures in the winter. On one occasion a large assembly con- 
vened, but the expected lecturer did not come. Inquiry was made 
of the doctor whether he would consent to address the audience. 
No one, I presume, expected anything but a temperance talk. 
He rose and delighted that audience for a full hour, with an 
exceedingly entertaining lecture on Shakespeare. He quoted 
lengthy passages, and represented the different characters, as but 
few men are able to do." 

In the spring of 1854, Dr. Jewett moved with his family 
to Batavia, Illinois, and his departure was much regretted. His 
stay there was short, and he later moved to Minnesota. He 
resided at Faribault, Minn., in 1855, still engaged in every good 
work. In 1856, he wrote to his friends in the east asking help 
to build a place of worship for the people of his locality. The 
Second Congregational Church at Millbury responded with 
thirty-five dollars, and he had the satisfaction of soon seeing a 
church and Sunday School organized there, and a house of wor- 
ship erected. John C. Crane was a pioneer in Minnesota at the 
time Dr. Jewett was at Faribault, and he has testified to the 
esteem in which the doctor was held. 

Dr. Jewett returned to Massachusetts in 1858 and for a few 
months resided again among his old neighbors, in Millbury, after 
which he again engaged in temperance work elsewhere. 

Dr. Jewett was a strong anti-slavery man, and circulated peti- 
tions for abolishing slavery in the District of Columbia. Upon 
the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law he became at once a volun- 
teer station agent on the "under-ground railroad," and his house 
at Millbury (in 1915 occupied by Mr. Ralph Nutting) was known 
to fleeing fugitives as a safe rendezvous. He is said to have fitted 
(as Mr. Thayer tells) a place under a stairway in his dwelling at 
Park Hill, where foot-sore travellers, with "skins not colored like 
his own," might be secreted. The good doctor took these fleeing 
slaves early in the morning, after their arrival, and placed them 
on board a train for Canada and freedom. Some years later, after 
his Minnesota venture, Dr. Jewett moved to Wisconsin, where 
he met sickness and financial troubles. He became discouraged 
but he was helped by his old friend, John B. Gough, and by Mr. 
L. M. Sargent. On April 3, 1879, Dr. Jewett died at Norwich 
Town, Connecticut, after a long and useful life. We are told that 
he was the father of thirteen children. 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, J-S 443 

Thomas Kendall, Jr. 

Thomas Kendall, Jr., son of the Rev. Thomas Kendall, first 
minister of Foxborough, Mass., was born there August 3, 1786, 
being the fifth Thomas in direct descent from Francis Kendall. 
In 1800, the father bought the John Kidder farm situated very 
near the Oxford line in Millbury (then Sutton), on a road which 
leads from the head of Ramshorn Pond to Federal or Long Hill in 
Oxford. The Rev. Thomas Kendall married Ruth, daughter of 
Richard Waters, an original settler of Sutton. It is believed that 
from him and William Plaise, another ancestor, gunsmiths, Mr. 
Kendall inherited much of his mechanical ingenuity. Thomas 
Kendall, Jr., married Olive, a daughter of Lemuel Crane at Oxford, 
Mass. The history of Sutton states that Mr. Kendall had five 
fingers on each hand. 

At the home place Mr. Kendall had his shop in which he made, 
it is believed, the first complete thermometer in the country. 
While using thermometers previously in his tests, he had found 
that the only "standards" were imported and that they were 
expensive. He thereupon invented a machine for graduating the 
scale to conform to the variation of the column of mercury and 
he produced an accurate instrument at a comparatively small 
cost. 

Mr. Kendall had received a good education and was a capable 
machinist. He installed the machinery in the old Dudley Merino 
mills, which were among the first to use power-looms in this coun- 
try. He manufactured surveyors' compasses and many other 
useful articles possibly equipping with their instruments his 
brother-in-law, Ebenezer Waters, and his father-in-law, Lemuel 
Crane, who were both civil engineers. In the "Massachusetts 
Spy" of February 25, 1817, the following advertisement appeared: 

"Thomas Kendall, Jr., Millbury, Mass., manufactures Ther- 
mometers of all kinds used by gentlemen, distillers, dyers, and 
those who make use of lead or oil in tempering steel. Also makes 
surveying compasses, scale protectors, spirit levels, and engraved 
mechanics' tools — goods forwarded by Post Riders. 

"Thomas Kendall, Jr." 

When Mr. Kendall was modestly laboring in his shop, two other 
inventors lived within three miles of him, namely, Thomas Blan- 
chard and Asa Kenney, with both of whom he exchanged ideas. 



444 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

In 1820, Mr. Kendall's health became very much impaired and 
he was induced to move with his family to New Lebanon, New 
York, where he lived as a country gentleman, looking after a small 
farm and interesting himself in the affairs and improvement of 
the town, then largely populated with settlers from New England. 
With the help of his eldest son, he made a few thermometers, 
taking them to New Haven (Yale College), Albany Observatory, 
New York City, Philadelphia and Washington. These were 
tested thoroughly and placed on the market, but on account of 
Mr. Kendall's health the business was conducted by his son John, 
a lad of eighteen. It was continued by him and the family until 
1892, the year of the death of John Kendall, when the old shop, 
built in 1833, was permanently closed. 

Mr. Kendall became interested with Elam Tilden (father of 
Samuel J. Tilden) in a school for the higher education of boys, 
and it was while on a visit to New York City in the interests of 
this school that he contracted a cold which resulted in his death 
at Albany, N. Y., December 10, 1831. He was buried at New 
Lebanon, N. Y. 

The "Albany Gazette," in 1881, thus referred to him:— "The 
life of an individual like Mr. Kendall deserves a brief notice. 
As our country advances in science, it will be a matter of 
patriotism to gather up the names of those who were its earliest 
promoters, and in the list of practical men no one better demands 
attention than the subject of these brief lines. He was decidedly 
an individual of a keen, investigating turn of mind, and of great 
industry. We believe we are correct in stating that he was the 
first in this country who attempted the manufacture of thermom- 
eters. These were originally, of course, rude and imperfect, but 
within a few years most of them were accurate and well constructed. 
So generally were his merits allowed that some years since he 
received the patronage of the Regents of the University in an order 
to supply all the academies of New York with his thermometers. " 

Asa Kenney, Jr. 

Asa Kenney was born in West Millbury (then a part of Sutton) 
in 1768. His youth was spent on the farm but he afterwards 
turned his attention to mechanical work and was regarded as one 
of the most skilful mechanics of his day. He occupied a small 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, J-S 445 

shop, directly opposite that of Thomas Blanchard, in West Mill- 
bury and connected with this was a brass foundry, the first one 
built this side of Boston. Thus he was the pioneer in brass work 
for this section. He also made silver spoons, trusses, surgeon's 
lancets and gold beads. Brass trimmings used for gunwork at the 
armory of Asa Waters, and at the other gun shops in the county, 
were cast at his shop. 

Mr. Kenney also gained a knowledge of clock construction 
being one of the few good clock-makers of the time, such as Robert 
Burr of Lexington, and Charles Stratton of Holden. He made a 
specialty of the tall brass hall clocks that are now so highly 
prized and many clocks made by him are still running of which 
some are to be found in Millbury and Sutton, one being in the 
possession of Mr. Henry W. Carter. In was then the custom to 
make a few clocks and go on a circuit to find purchasers, but the 
superior workmanship and the excellent time-keeping qualities 
of his instruments furnished Mr. Kenney with much unsolicited 
work. Many of these clocks were built with an indicator which 
gave the day of the month and the changes of the moon. Some 
were constructed with a vessel upon the top and, as the pendulum 
swung back and forth, the heaving of the vessel could be plainly 
seen. The price paid at the time for many of these was as high 
as seventy-five dollars and today the owners are loath to part 
with them at any price. 

It is uncertain when the custom of using brass balls upon the 
horns of cattle originated, but the first ones used in the county 
were made by Mr. Kenney. Previously, a clumsy piece of wood 
had been used. 

Mr. Kenney disputed with Thomas Blanchard the claim to the 
invention of the eccentric lathe, and the contention was referred 
to a board of arbitrators, of which the Hon. Salem Towne, of 
Charlton, was chairman. Mr. Blanchard's counsel was Gov. 
Levi Lincoln and the Hon. John Davis. The counsel for Mr. 
Kenney were the Hon. Samuel Hoar, of Concord, and the Hon. 
Jonas L. Sibley, of Sutton. A gentleman who was present at the 
hearing stated that " Kenney exhibited a beautiful brass model 
polished like a mirror ; Blanchard exhibited a rather clumsy wooden 
model about four feet long." After a hearing which continued 
several days the matter was decided in favor of Thomas Blanchard. 



446 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

In personal appearance Mr. Kenney was of medium height, 
rather thick-set, and in his prime weighed about two hundred 
pounds. He was a man of generous nature, liberal with his means, 
and although he had no superior in his special line of work, he 
did not succeed in securing to himself a competence. Unlike 
Thomas Blanchard, he died poor. 

Mr. Kenney continued his work in brass until the infirmities 
of age came upon him. He was succeeded by his son Hiram who 
built a shop nearby. 

Mowry A. Lapham 

Mowry A. Lapham was born in Burrillville, R. I., in 1819, 
where he attended school until he was sixteen years of age. His 
father was a carpenter and mill-workman with whom he worked 
for two years. He then moved to Waterford, Mass., and worked 
as a carpenter for two years. The following two years were spent 
in a machine-shop after which he was employed for two years at 
the machine works of Southwick & Brown at Millville. He next 
was employed by Hawes, Marvill & Devoll of Fall River. While 
living here he married Harriet T. Thayer, of Mendon, in that part 
of the town which is now Blackstone. At the age of twenty-six, 
having returned to Millville, he was employed in the machine- 
shop of Farnum & Harding, as superintendent of the iron and 
wood-working department. 

His career as a manufacturer began in 1860, when he went to 
Cherry Valley, Mass., and engaged in the manufacture of Kersey- 
meres, in the firm of Lapham & Smith. Upon the retirement of 
Mr. Smith, two years later, Mr. Lapham, as sole owner, operated 
the mill until it was burned, four years afterward. 

In 1863, he bought the Burbank paper-mill privilege in Millbury, 
then owned by F. W. Richmond of Providence, R. I. A company 
was formed by M. & S. Lapham, and a mill was built. After the 
death of Smith Lapham, the business was continued under the 
name of Mowry A. Lapham. The first mill erected by Mr. 
Lapham was burned in 1876 and the present mill was built in 
1879. As a successful manufacturer he contributed notably to 
the material welfare of the town. 

Mr. Lapham never lived in Millbury, but resided in Worcester. 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, J~S 447 

For six years he was a member of the board of Aldermen and for 
many years was a director of the Manufacturer's Mutual Insurance 
Company of Worcester. 

Mr. Lapham had two children, Frederick A., once selectman of 
Millbury, and Hattie M., who married F. A. Leland, of Worcester. 

Dr. William H. Lincoln 

Dr. William H. Lincoln, eldest of five children, was born at 
Dorchester, Mass. He attended the local public schools and later 
the So. Paris, Maine, Academy. As a young man he began the 
practice of dentistry in Portland, Maine. In 1850, he entered 
Bowdoin Medical School at Brunswick, Maine, and for six years 
kept up the practice of dentistry and attended to his medical 
studies, receiving the degree of M. D. from Bowdoin in 1856. 

He began the practice of medicine at Turner, Maine. Here he 
married Laura Nudd who died about a year after their marriage. 
Soon after this he moved to Hubbardston, Mass., where he con- 
tinued the practice of his profession. Here, in 1859, he married 
Eunice A. Reid. 

In 1862, Dr. Lincoln enlisted, as assistant-surgeon, in the Seventh 
Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteers with which he served three 
years, being promoted to the rank of surgeon. At the conclusion 
of the war he was made a fellow in the Massachusetts Medical 
Society. 

In 1865, Dr. Lincoln began the practice of medicine in Millbury 
and resided here for the remainder of his life. He was faithful 
in his attention to his patients. His manner was zealous and 
determined, for to him the patient was always of paramount and 
the attention to friends of secondary importance. His practice 
was a wide one and he was known as a skilful surgeon as well 
as a competent physician. 

Dr. Lincoln was a member of Olive Branch Lodge, F. and A. M.; 
of Tyrian Royal Arch Chapter and its treasurer for seventeen 
years; of Worcester County Commandery of Knights Templar; 
and of George A. Custer Post 70, G. A. R. For many years he 
was a member of the Second Congregational Church.

448 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Nymphas Longley 

Nymphas Longley, son of John, was born at Norridgewock, 
Maine, in 1793, but as a young man he moved to Millbury. Here 
he became prominent in local affairs and was usually referred to 
as 'Squire Longley. He served on the board of selectmen and as 
overseer of the poor. He was a man of intelligence and worth, 
kind-hearted, and enjoyed the respect and esteem of his fellow- 
townsmen, conducting himself in the manner of a gentleman of 
the old school.

Ezra Lovell 

Capt. Ezra Lovell served actively in the Revolutionary War 
(see record of Revolutionary Soldiers). He rose from the grade 
of corporal to the rank of first lieutenant. He afterward attained 
the rank of captain and was generally known by this title. He 
was a conspicuous man of his generation and an influential one in 
local affairs. As grandson of one of the earliest settlers and grand- 
father of Russell Buckman Lovell who is still living in Millbury 
at an advanced age Captain Lovell was a member of one of the 
most representative Millbury families that the town can boast. 
He was a farmer in his middle and later life. 

John Martin 
In 1856, John Martin moved from Lincoln, R. I., to Millbury, 
which continued to be his residence. He was first employed 
by Joseph Merry in the cotton waste business at the location 
which the Hull Bros, at present occupy. Later he was engaged in 
the foundry business with Warren Sweetser, having a shop on 
South Main Street. After retiring from this enterprise, he turned 
his attention to farming. He again became interested in foundry 
work with W. R. Cunningham, but he sold this out when the latter 
retired. He was much interested in the public affairs of the town 
and served as a member of the board of assessors for one year. 
He was a trustee of the Millbury Savings Bank from 1884 until 
his death. He was a member of the Olive Branch Lodge of Masons. 

Francis McCracken 
Francis McCracken, who was of Scottish descent, made carpets 
and other woolen goods on hand-looms at the old Common in the 
early days of Millbury and is reputed to have been the first weaver

of fancy kerseys by hand in town. Previous to his coming to this 
country he held a commission in the British army. He lived to a 
good age, being ninety-two years old at the time of his death.

Dr. William Bowen Moore 

Dr. William Bowen Moore, son of John Elias Moore, was born 
in Charleston, S. C, Feb. 13, 1805. He was a graduate of Brown 
University and of the Medical School of Philadelphia, Penn. He 
practiced medicine in Millbury, from 1828 to 1842, and was con- 
sidered a skilful physician. As his health became impaired, he 
sought to recuperate in his native city, placing himself under the 
care of an eminent physician who resided there, but all efforts in 
his behalf proved futile, and he died there, Apr. 10, 1843. A 
Charleston paper, published at the time, thus referred to him: 

"It is not often that the grave closes over one whose loss is so 
afflicting, so irreparable as Dr. William Bowen Moore who died 
here the 10th instant. As a physician and surgeon Dr. Moore 
was highly respected by the faculty. He was skilful and his 
affectionate manners rendered him always a welcome visitor in 
the sick room. Dr. Moore was uniformly courteous and affable. 
The poor of the towns where he practiced will long remember his 
kindness. In a letter to a friend in this city, a short time before 
his death, he said, 'Nothing on earth is so eloquent and over- 
coming as a good heart. It is noble, yes, Godlike, to overcome 
by charity and love. If there is anything I grieve over, it is 
my inability to do for my kind that which my heart prompts me 
to do."' 

His daughter was the first wife of Nathan H. Sears.

Charles Diminick Morse 

Charles Diminick Morse was born at Woodstock, Conn., where 
he received his early education. 

About 1850, he came to Millbury and entered the employment 
of J. Coombs & Co., manufacturers of sashes and blinds. This 
industry had been established by Allen & Goddard near the site 
of the present N. Y., N. H. & H. depot in a building which is still 
standing below the Gowing bridge. He remained with this firm 
for a year when Mr. Coombs moved to Chicago. In 1852, T. S.

450 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Fullam, E. M. Park, A. S. Small and C. D. Morse formed a firm 
known as Fullam, Morse & Co., which purchased the business of 
Coombs & Co. Later in the same year Mr. Small retired and, in 
1853, Mr. Fullam also retired, selling to Horace Armsby. The 
firm then became Armsby & Morse. About 1856, Mr. Park 
retired. In 1871, Mr. Morse bought the interest of Mr. Armsby 
and the firm became C. D. Morse & Co., which it continued to be 
until the time of Mr. Morse's death. 

The shops were totally destroyed by fire, July 24, 1872, but they 
were immediately rebuilt. In 1881, another fire occurred with a 
partial loss, but the works were again soon repaired. 

Mr. Morse filled many important positions of trust and honor 
in the town. He served on the board of selectmen, but declined 
a re-election, owing to the pressure of private business. He was 
a member of the board of assessors and of the board of fire engi- 
neers. In 1878, when after a long and heated controversy it was 
decided to build a new town hall, he was made chairman of the 
building committee. He was a member of the committee appoint- 
ed by the town to bring about some legislation that should compel 
the city of Worcester to properly treat its sewage before putting 
it into the Blackstone River, and it was while serving upon this 
committee that his ability as an indefatigable worker attracted 
general attention throughout the state. During the sewage con- 
test he not only gave much time without compensation, but he 
expended many dollars of his own money. 

He was a leading spirit in the movement for a public supply of 
water, as he was largely instrumental in securing a charter for 
and in the organization of the Millbury Water Co., but he did not 
live long enough to see his plans carried out. 

In 1863, Mr. Morse became a member of the board of directors 
of the Millbury National Bank, and, in 1879, upon the death of 
Hosea Crane, he was chosen to be its president, filling the position 
with ability until his death. Among other offices held by him 
were the following: vice-president and member of the board of 
investment of Millbury Savings Bank; director of Millbury & 
Worcester Street Railway Co.; president of Millbury Electric 
Company; president of Millbury Business Union, and a Director 
of the Millbury Water Company. 

In politics Mr. Morse was a Republican, and was a man of 
influence in the councils of his party. In 1873, he was elected as 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, J-S 451 

representative to the General Court by the district which at the 
time included the towns of Webster, Dudley, Sutton, Oxford, 
Douglas, and Millbury. 

Mr. Morse was a member of Olive Branch Lodge, F. and A. M.; 
of Tyrian Royal Arch Chapter; and Worcester Commandery 
Knight Templar. He was connected with the Builders' Exchange 
of Worcester, and was its president for two years. He belonged 
to the Worcester Board of Trade, and the Home Market Club of 
Boston. He was a member of the Second Congregational Church 
of Millbury, which he supported loyally. 

Mr. Morse was one of the most conspicuous men of his genera- 
tion in Millbury. He stood for progress and improvement in all 
matters, frequently exerting his influence for better schools, roads, 
public buildings, fire protection, and general conditions. He was 
a man of firm convictions and resolutely maintained his purposes. 
In the controversy over the sewage question, in the location and 
erection of the town house, and in the provision for an adequate 
water supply he stood in the midst of ardent controversy, but in 
all he was a most potent factor in bringing each to its final con- 
summation. Few men in all its history have been so intimately 
identified with the progress of the town or known abroad as such 
valued and representative citizens.

John Rhodes 

John Rhodes was born at Whitesboro, N. Y., Feb. 5, 1813. 
His father, who was a dyer, was at the time engaged in farming. 
John Rhodes followed his father's occupation until nineteen years 
of age, when he went to North Carolina, travelling through the 
state with a team and selling dry-goods. 

His first mill-work was done as a dyer in a Connecticut mill, and 
later he moved to Providence, R. I. When he was twenty-four 
years of age he was employed in the same capacity by J. & A. 
Morse, of Smithville, R. I. In 1846, he moved to Bellingham, 
Mass., where, until 1851, he operated a mill for the manufacture 
of cotton warp. He then came to Millbury, and, in company with 
Joseph H. Merry, rented a small mill, now occupied by Hull Bros., 
where for three years he continued the manufacture of cotton warp. 

In 1854, the firm bought the stone mill (now occupied by E. F. 
Rice & Co.) and upon the retirement of Mr. Merry some time later 



452 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Mr. Rhodes continued the business alone. About 1864, he leased, 
at North Oxford, what was known as the "Protective" mill, and 
a year later he bought the property, and renamed it the " Oxford 
Cotton Mill." He then became associated with a partner, in the 
firm of Rhodes & Wilmarth. The mill was sold by Mr. Rhodes in 
1888. In 1872, he bought what is now known as Mayo Mill No. 
3, then known as "The Pinafore" situated on the site of the Old 
Braman mill. 

Several years after the death of Alfred Morse, at Farnumsville, 
in company with Wm. Andrews, of Woonsocket, and Capt. Peter 
Simpson, of Millbury, Mr. Rhodes bought the privilege, tene- 
ments, hotel, and all the factory property formerly owned by 
Mr. Morse. The business was continued by them for a few years, 
when Mr. Rhodes withdrew. 

Mr. Rhodes married, in 1838, Sarah B. Johnson, of West 
Woodstock, Conn. They had two children, Otis W., and Maria, 
who married Henry M. Wilcox, of Johnston, R. I. Mrs. Rhodes 
died in 1880. In 1869, Mr. Rhodes was chosen to represent the 
district in the legislature, a position which he filled acceptably. 
For some time previous to his death, he was in ill-health, and his 
interests were looked after by his son-in-law, Mr. Wilcox. The 
closing years of his life were spent in the fine residence which he 
built at the corner of Main and Elm streets, once the site of the 
home of Dea. Elijah Waters. 

The career of Mr. Rhodes as a business man was honorable and 
successful. For many years he was a director in the National 
Bank. He was a prominent mason, for many years being treasurer 
of the Olive Branch Lodge. He contributed generously toward 
fitting up the present Masonic Hall. 

Hon. Henry C. Rice 

The Hon. Henry C. Rice was born in Millbury in 1828. He was 
a son of Oliver Rice, a former well-known citizen, whose trade was 
that of pail-maker. These he made of sassafras wood which was 
strong and light. He lived at the Hodgdon place on Providence 
Street. 

Henry C. Rice was graduated from Brown College in 1850 after 
which he studied law in the offices of Peter C. Bacon, Esq., the 
Hon. Dwight Foster, and P. Emory Aldrich, Esq. He was admit- 
ted to the bar in 1852. He represented Worcester in the General 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, J~S 453 

Court for two years, being a member of the committee on the 
revision of the statutes of the state. In 1879, he was a senator 
of the Commonwealth. 

He married Josephine, daughter of the Hon. Charles Allen. 
He died at Worcester in 1891. 

Samuel Sawyer 

Samuel Sawyer, a Civil War veteran, was born in Westbrook, 
Maine, in 1808. He came to Millbury in 1833, and for almost 
fifty years followed the trade of a blacksmith. At the breaking 
out of the Civil War he raised a company for the service backed by 
Col. A. H. Waters who assumed whatever expense attended the 
work, but because of rivalry the efforts failed. His father had 
been a soldier in the War of 1812, losing an arm in that struggle. 
As he was determined to do his share as a soldier,in 1862 he enlisted 
in the 36th Massachusetts regiment. In 1828, he became a mem- 
ber of the Worcester Light Infantry and at the time of his death he 
was the oldest member of the organization. During his connec- 
tion with this company he formed the acquaintance of Ambrose 
E. Burnside who later became a Union general. During the war 
General Burnside found out that Mr. Sawyer, who at the time was 
over fifty years of age, was a private under his command, so he 
sought to make military duty easy for him. Later, it is believed, 
General Burnside recommended him to General Sherman for 
whom he became despatch carrier. General Sherman did not 
forget the aged Millbury private for when, after the war, the gen- 
eral was a guest at the New England fair, held at Worcester, 
among the thousands of people assembled he recognized the white 
haired despatch carrier of war days and he gave him a hearty 
hand shake as a comrade. Mr. Sawyer was in engagements at 
Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, in the Wilderness and before Peters- 
burg, being under fire for forty days and nights. 

To his delight he was at the dedication of the Bunker Hill 
monument, and heard the famous oration by Daniel Webster. 

He died in February, 1900, at the age of eighty-one. A son of 
Mr. Sawyer, Alphonso P., was appointed auditor for the govern- 
ment at Porto Rico, by President Taft, holding the position for 
over a year. Another son, Charles H., resides in Millbury, but 
is engaged in business in Worcester. 



454 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Irving B. Sayles 

Irving B. Sayles was a native of Woonsocket, R. I., and his 
early life was passed there. He came to Millbury when a young 
man and was associated with Nelson Walling at the Walling Woolen 
mill in Bramanville for whom he was bookkeeper. 

In 1893, he was appointed a national bank examiner by President 
Grover Cleveland and assigned to a district in Massachusetts. 
He quickly mastered the duties of the office and continued to fill 
the position until 1906, when, upon the death of Amos Armsby, 
treasurer of the Millbury Savings Bank, he was chosen to fill the 
vacancy. The wisdom of the choice was demonstrated by the 
faithful and highly efficient manner in which he discharged the 
duties of the office from first to last. 

Mr. Sayles entered into politics soon after coming to Millbury 
and became a leader in the Democratic party. He held many 
offices within the gift of the voters of the town, including those of 
selectman, assessor, trustee of the town library, and school-com- 
mitteeman. He was still in service as library trustee and on the 
school board at the time of his death. In 1872 he was elected 
representative to the legislature of the Commonwealth and, in 
1886, was elected senator from the third district. In 1888, he 
was nominated for Congress from the tenth district but was 
defeated by a very small majority by the Hon. Joseph H. Walker 
of Worcester. 

Mr. -Sayles was a member and Past Master of Olive Branch 
Lodge, A. F. and A. M., and a charter member and Past High Priest 
of Tyrian Royal Arch chapter of Millbury. He was also a mem- 
ber of Worcester County Commandery Knight Templars of Wor- 
cester. He was Past Senior Grand Warden of the Grand Chapter 
of Royal Arch Masons of Massachusetts. 

His courteous and dignified bearing and his serene disposition 
caused his relations with the officials of the bank and with the 
public to be most agreeable. 

Mr. Sayles married, first, Amelia Walling, daughter of Nelson 
and Eliza Walling. Their children were Dwight, Nelson Walling, 
and Ethel, Mr. Sayles married, second, Cora Campbell. 

Nathan H. Sears 
Nathan Henry Sears was born at Brewster, Mass. In 1848, he 
moved to Worcester where he worked on leather goods. In 1853 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, J-S 455 

he came to Millbury where he was foreman for the firm of Johnson, 
Brown and Co. who manufactured leather goods. He kept a drug 
store from 1865 until 1898. 

Mr. Sears was a prominent citizen in many lines of activity. 
He was for a number of years a member of the fire department 
and part of the time was its chief, having one of the steam fire- 
engines named in his honor. For over forty years he was com- 
missioner of cemeteries, much of the time being chairman of the 
board. During this period the condition and appearance of the 
cemeteries was greatly improved, a change in which he took much 
pride. He caused the graves of Revolutionary soldiers to be 
marked. He has long been identified with leadership in the 
Republican party. He represented the district for a term in the 
State Legislature. For sixteen years, i. e., from 1898 until 1914, 
Mr. Sears was postmaster. He was town treasurer for two years 
in 1872 and 1873. 

Mr. Sears served two enlistments in the Civil War, the first 
being with the Tenth Unattached Co. and the second with Co. F., 
1st battalion of heavy artillery, both terms of service being at Fort 
Warren in Boston Harbor. 

Mr. Sears was a member of the Unitarian Society of Millbury 
in whose affairs he ever took a warm interest. He was a member 
of George A. Custer Post 70, G. A. R. He was a prominent 
Mason, having taken thirty-two degrees in that order. 

Capt. Peter Simpson 

Capt. Peter Simpson, son of Peter Simpson, was born in St. 
Ours, near Montreal, Canada, in January, 1821. At the age of 
sixteen he left home and worked on a farm in Claremont, N. H. 
In 1838, he went to Woonsocket, R. I., where he was employed 
in the woolen mills of Edward Harris, after which he worked in 
woolen mills at Blackstone. He later returned to Woonsocket, 
and was employed in the woolen mill of Daniel Paine. He after- 
ward returned to the employ of Mr. Harris with whom he remained 
until about 1860 and was for many years superintendent of his 
mills. 

At the beginning of the Civil War, Mr. Simpson joined the First 
Regiment of Rhode Island Volunteer Militia,a three months' organ- 
ization, and went to the front as captain of the Woonsocket com- 
pany. He was in the first battle of the war where he distinguished 



456 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

himself for bravery. He returned with his company and began 
the manufacture of cotton goods in a small mill in the town of 
Franklin. In 1862, he moved to Millbury. During the Civil 
War, Captain Simpson raised a company of Millbury men and 
proceeded to Boston, but, owing to some misunderstanding with 
the authorities, the company was not accepted, so it returned home. 
(It is understood that preference was given to militia companies.) 

In 1874, in company with the late John Rhodes and William 
Andrews, he purchased the Farnumsville Cotton Mills. In 1878, 
Andrews & Simpson bought Mr. Rhodes' interest, and conducted 
the mills until 1885, when the property was sold. 

Captain Simpson was a man of great business tact, personally 
looking after his interest in his mills. He was at the office nearly 
every morning when the wheel started. He was prominent in 
town affairs. He served as a director of the Millbury 
National Bank. He was President of the Millbury Electric 
Light Company. He also served as chief engineer of the fire 
department for a number of years, a position which he filled 
with great credit to himself and to the town. He was very chari- 
table to the poor, and many a one in trouble has reason to thank 
him for his kind deeds. He gave liberally toward the building 
of the Baptist Church, and continued to be a generous supporter. 

Captain Simpson was a member of Olive Branch Lodge, F. and 
A. M., of Tyrian Royal Arch Chapter, and of Worcester County 
Commandery of Knights Templars. 

He married Maria Follett. They had two daughters, — one, 
the wife of S. N. Rogers; the other, the wife of W. G. Farnsworth. 
Captain Simpson died in Millbury in 1889.

Amos Singletary 
Amos Singletary, son of John and Mary Grelee Singletary, was 
the first white person born in what is now the town of Millbury. 
In the old County-Bridge, or Providence street, burial place, there 
is a slate grave stone erected to his memory, on which there is 
inscribed, "Amos Singletary, died 1806." Mr. Singletary was 
an important person in the early history of Sutton. All the edu- 
cation that he received was acquired at home. For four years 
he was a member of the provincial Congress. His name appears 
frequently in transactions between the town of Sutton and the

state government during the time of the Revolutionary War. 
He was justice of the peace and quorum, and a bail commissioner. 
He was the father of two boys and seven girls and his son, Amos, 
was father of twelve children. 

John Singletary 

John Singletary and his wife, Mary Grelee, (as we learn from 
church records) joined The Church of Christ in Framingham, 
Mass., in the year 1710. He was dismissed from that church to 
Sutton, in 1720, and Mary Grelee, his wife, was transferred in 
1721. It has been stated that Mr. Singletary came here from 
Haverhill, Mass., where he was born. His home was at the outlet 
of Singletary Lake which was named in honor of the family. He 
succeeded Ebenezer Daggett in developing the first industry in 
Millbury, a grist mill. He built the second industry, a saw mill, 
and also the third industry a grist-mill. The Singletarys became 
connected by marriage with many of the early families among 
whom may be mentioned the Stockwells, the Goodells, the Gales, 
the Goulds, the Dwinnels, and the Burnaps. 

(See "Industries on Singletary Stream.") 

Dr. Leonard Spaulding 

(Taken largely from the funeral address delivered by the Rev. 
George A. Putnam and afterwards published.) 

Dr. Leonard Spaulding was born in Carlisle, Mass., April 2, 
1816. He received his academic education at Phillips Academy, 
Andover, but was obliged to relinquish his purpose of going to 
college on account of failing health. Arriving at the age of twenty- 
one, he went west, spending nearly four years in teaching. Return- 
ing, he commenced the study of medicine, taking his first course 
at Hanover, N. H., and graduating at Pittsfield, Mass., in 1843. 
He commenced to practice his profession in this town one year 
later, viz., 1844; since which time, until his decease, he has dwelt 
constantly here, so that residents of Millbury are familiar with his 
history. 

Dr. Spaulding was most justly held in high esteem as a faithful, 
intelligent, and successful physician; a man of close observation, 
patient investigation, and good judgment. His reputation was 
founded on true merit and not on any groundless pretensions. 
His practice was characterized by great kindness, gentleness, and 



458 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

a tender regard for the feelings of his patients. About a month 
before he died, in speaking of his past life, he said, with tears 
starting in his eyes, "that which gives me the greatest pleasure 
in looking back is, that I have been kind to the poor; — I have tried 
to be." 

He had more than average intellectual ability, and was char- 
acterized by a practical common sense, great carefulness in form- 
ing his opinions, and a commendable candor and moral courage 
in expressing them. Though not prominent as an official, his 
position was one of much influence both in civil and eccelsiastical 
affairs. He had a strong social nature which with his other qual- 
ities, drew him to the people, and the people to him. 

He might have stood up before the people and said, as ancient 
Samuel did, "Behold, here I am. Whom have I defrauded or 
whom have I oppressed?" 

For fifteen years he held the office of clerk, and for seven years 
he was superintendent of the Sabbath School of the First Congre- 
gational Church. He was not demonstrative, in the usual sense 
of that word; not a great religious talker; the rather did he take 
on that type of piety which shows itself in loving mercy, doing 
justly, and walking humbly with God. He seldom spoke of his 
personal feelings. Even in his last days he seemed to shrink from 
drawing aside the veil to permit any one to go in with him where 
the secrets of his heart were kept. 

He was a cherished and worthy member of the medical pro- 
fession, a skilful practitioner, a careful and candid counsellor in 
whom his patients found not only a sympathizing physician, but 
also a true friend. As a townsman he was a most excellent citizen, 
loyal and trustworthy, whose influence was strongly and widely 
felt, particularly in the school department, in which he was 
specially efficient. As a Christian gentleman he was one whose 
counsel was sought frequently and whose genial influence was more 
and more a blessing to those with whom he mingled. 

Dr. Spaulding's home for many years was at the corner of West 
Main and Beach streets in Bramanville. His wife, a daughter of 
deacon Tyrus March, survived him for many years. 

Ithamar Stowe 

Ithamar Stowe came to Millbury from Grafton, Mass. He was 
at one time agent for Capt. Amasa Wood in his shoe factory at 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, J-S 459 

Thompson, Conn. For a year he was in charge of the factory at 
West Millbury. He was a man well acquainted with leather and 
its manufacture, as well as with agricultural matters. Later, 
Mr. Stowe owned the Tainter farm, which still remains in posses- 
sion of his descendants. 

He was a remarkable all-round man. Upon the generation 
following his own he left the impression of being an elderly man 
with wonderful physical vitality for he would often be seen going 
from his farm to the Center on a dog trot. 

He early identified himself with the Baptist Church in which he 
was a liberal giver.

Samuel Davenport Torrey 

Samuel Davenport Torrey was born in Mendon, in 1789. 
William Torrey, a progenitor, was a conspicuous character in 
Massachusetts, being for many years a member of the House of 
Deputies (and always chosen clerk), a magistrate, and a captain 
of militia. He died in 1690. He was an educated man of affairs, 
having some knowledge of Latin and also fair literary ability, 
which appears through a printed essay on "The Futurities," 
a quaint production still extant. 

He had three brothers who settled severally — Philip in Roxbury; 
James in Scituate, Plymouth Colony; and Joseph in Newport, 
Rhode Island. William's oldest son was the distinguished scholar 
and preacher, the Rev. Samuel Torrey, who lived in Weymouth 
and died there after a pastorate of fifty years. He was educated 
at Harvard College, and it is recorded that he subsequently twice 
declined the presidency of the college. He had also the unusual 
honor of preaching three "election sermons" before the "Great 
and General Court of Massachusetts." He left no descendants. 

Samuel Davenport Torrey established himself early in life in 
Boston, in the West India trade, at No. 25 South Market Street, 
near Faneuil Hall. In 1831, his health being somewhat impaired 
and having acquired what he regarded as a competency, Mr. Torrey 
retired from business and located permanently in Millbury. 

For forty-six years he was one of the substantial citizens of the 
town, bearing an important part in its affairs, and with those of the 
Second Congregational Church of which he was a member. Mr. 
Torrey was twice married. His first wife, Delia Chapin, died in 
1821. In 1824, he married Susan Holman Waters, daughter of 
Asa Waters, Jr., and granddaughter of Colonel Jonathan Holman. 
Five children were born to them, four daughters and one son, the 
latter dying in infancy. The daughters were Delia Chapin, still 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, T-W 461 

living and unmarried; Louisa Maria, wife of Judge Alphonso 
Taft, of Cincinnati, Ohio, and mother of the honored ex-president 
of the United States, William Howard Taft; Susan Waters, who 
married Samuel A. Wood, once of Millbury and later of San Fran- 
cisco, Cal. ; Anna Davenport, wife of Prof. Edward Orton, of the 
Ohio State University, and later state Geologist of Ohio. 

Mr. Torrey was a man of marked individuality and great integ- 
rity of character, possessing thorough methods of business.

A Millbury boy, Henry P. Upham, has gained distinction in the 
Northwestern section of our country. He was born here in 1837 
and was son of Joel W. Upham, a maker of water-wheels, who for 
some time resided in Millbury, but later moved to Worcester. 
At the age of twenty Henry went to Chicago and thence proceeded 
to St. Paul, which was at that time a fur trading post of some 
importance. He engaged in a small way in the lumber business 
in a mill of his own, but this was soon abandoned and as clerk he 
entered a St. Paul bank in which by his merits he rose to the posi- 
tion of president. He became one of the leading financiers in that 
city and the close friend of Mr. James J. Hill, the great railroad 
man of the Northwest. 

Mr. Upham was much interested in historical matters. He has 
been president of the "Minnesota State Historical Society," 
governor of the "Society of Colonial Wars," member of the 
Mayflower descendants, and a "Son of the American Revolution." 
The "St. Paul Pioneer Press" of May 2, 1909, thus referred to him: 
"In the death of Henry P. Upham, the city has lost one who, 
throughout the greater part of its history, was a powerful factor 
in its development, and hundreds of those with whom he was 
brought into contact have lost a kindly friend. Identified, as he 
was, throughout his active career with the first founded and most 
conspicuous banking institution of the city, an institution that 
has always been recognized as one of the leading banks of the 
Northwest, Mr. Upham, for the greater part of his life, was regard- 
ed as the foremost banker of this section. As a citizen, Mr. Upham 
took a keen interest in every public project and exercised a great 
deal of influence upon the development of the community." 



462 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Nelson Walling 

Nelson Walling, a descendant in the sixth generation of Thomas 
Walling, who lived at Providence, R. I., as early as 1651, was born 
at Burrillville, R. I., in 1813. The family was prominent in the 
early history of that city and of the adjacent towns. 

In 1853, Mr. Walling moved to Millbury and built the mill 
which formerly stood on the location now occupied by the W. W. 
Windle Co. mill and for years he made this one of the leading 
industries on Singletary stream, manufacturing a superior quality 
of woolen cloth. He was contemporary with such manufacturers 
as John Rhodes, Mowry A. Lapham, Hosea Crane, and Horace 
Waters. (See Industries on Singletary stream.) 

Mr. Walling was a man of few words, studious, and quiet in his 
manner. He apparently cared little for public office, but he was 
interested in the welfare of the community, especially having a 
concern for the large number of people in his employ. For a time 
Mr. Walling occupied a house opposite his mill, but later he pur- 
chased the estate formerly owned by 'Squire Clough R. Miles, 
which is still occupied by his family. Here he lived the life of a 
gentleman farmer, having cattle that were well-bred and owning a 
fine pair of black driving-horses that were widely known. He 
greatly improved the estate, for he found the yard intersected 
with the ditches and gullies of the old canal and on the corner of 
the street the old Canal Store stood in ruins. The house was 
lavishly furnished and the grounds were evenly graded. 

Mr. Walling married, first, Eliza Sayles, of a Rhode Island 
family. Their children were Albert, who was drowned; Hosea; 
Martin; Caroline; Amelia; Antoinette; and Mary, who died young. 
Mr. Walling married, second, at Woonsocket, R. I., in June, 1854, 
Sarah Ann, daughter of Peter and Eliza (Hathaway) Place. 
Their children were Eliza, married George Clement; Anna Adele; 
and Sarah Hortense. 

Mr. Walling died in Millbury in 1885. 

Asa Waters, the First 

Nathaniel Waters (1671-1718) of Salem, in the year 1715, 
bought three thousand acres of the wilderness, within the territory 
that was to become the town of Sutton, but, dying three years 
later, he probably never lived here, and his land was divided 




JO 




INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, T-W 463 

between his two sons, Nathaniel, Jr., and Jonathan (1715-1786), 
who had farms in the north part of the township. The home farm 
of the latter was on the east side of the road leading from Single- 
tary pond to West Millbury at the east end of the village. Prob- 
ably the site of the first house is marked by an old well. The 
present dwelling stands nearly opposite where a road branches to 
the westward. There for four generations lived a Jonathan 
Waters. They were descended from James Waters an iron mon- 
ger and citizen of London who died in that city and was buried 
in St. Botolph's parish, February 2, 1617, leaving a widow, Phoebe, 
daughter of George Manning, and a son, Richard. Among the 
manuscripts in the British Museum is a pedigree prepared by that 
George Manning showing his descent through eight generations 
from Symon Manning, who was a crusader to the Holy Land in the 
reign of Richard I. and who died before 1272. The widow Phoebe 
Waters married a widower, William Plasse, a gun maker, of London, 
who had a daughter, Rejoice Plasse. This family, Mr. and Mrs. 
Plasse and their two children, were in the migration that crossed 
the Atlantic before 1636 to the new plantation on the Massachu- 
setts Bay. Richard Waters married in London his step sister, 
Rejoice Plasse. William Plasse and his step-son followed the 
trade of gun making in Salem. A grandson of Richard 2 Waters 
was the Nathaniel 4 who bought Sutton land, and a grandson of 
the latter, and son of the first Jonathan 5 , was the Asa Waters 6 
who was born in the north parish of Sutton, January 27, 1742. 
He and his brother Andrus inherited the mechanical talent of 
their progenitor, Richard. Both were gun makers, and were 
among the first to perceive the industrial possibilities of the swiftly 
descending waters of Singletary brook. The two brothers estab- 
lished trip hammer works where the Holbrook Mill stands, or a 
little below, and forged gun barrels, scythes and other iron imple- 
ments. 

One April night in 1775, Paul Revere's alarm that British troops 
were marching out from Boston to destroy military supplies at 
Concord was spread as fast as horses could travel to every town 
in the colony and at every one found companies, armed, disci- 
plined and officered, ready for the expected emergency. Like a 
swarm of angry hornets marched from every town its complement 
of minute men. Sutton sent seven companies. Asa Waters was 
lieutenant of a company from the north parish. The provincial 



464 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

troops surrounded Boston and the King's troops were besieged 
within the town. In the later part of the season he was lieutenant 
of Capt. Bartholomew Woodbury's company of Colonel Learned's 
Regiment, part of the besieging force. On April 4, 1776, he was 
commissioned First Lieutenant of Capt. Abijah Burbank's 13th 
company of the 5th Worcester County regiment. 

Armories for the manufacture of firearms were very few in the 
colonies at the beginning of the Revolution and, as the importation 
of arms became very difficult, the work of the gun makers was 
therefore of the greatest value to the American cause. The iron 
ore was mined at Salisbury in the northwest corner of Connecticut, 
the pig iron carried across a rough country to Douglas where it 
was refined and thence carted to the Sutton Waters Armory to be 
made into the various metallic parts which were assembled to 
make up the completed gun. Andrus Waters died from exposure 
at the mines after two years, and was buried at West Point, with 
military honors, his death lamented as a public calamity. 

Asa was left to pursue the business, which he did with vigor and 
success. This was the first armory where water power was 
employed in the making of guns. 

Gun powder was as essential to the American cause as firearms 
and as difficult to obtain. The British in Boston could readily 
have dispersed their besiegers had they known how small was the 
supply of powder in the American army. October 18, 1776, the 
Massachusetts authorities appointed a committee to build a 
powder mill in Sutton, and appropriated £200 from the state 
treasury to construct it. Asa Waters was put in charge of its 
operation. The mill stood partly over the pond where the Winter 
store now is. A long row of pestles and mortars extended on each 
of its four sides, all worked by power from the Singletary. 
The difficulty was in finding the ingredients needed to make the 
explosive. In after years Mr. Waters was often heard to say, 
"that there was hardly a barn in Worcester county under which 
I have not bent my back scraping up saltpetre." He served on 
committees for the raising of troops and other patriotic efforts 
during the war, but following the evacuation of Boston his principal 
public service was in providing munitions of war, guns and gun 
powder. 

He built himself a mansion on Elmwood Street where he lived 
the last twenty or thirty years of his life. (See Old Houses, p. 370). 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, T-W 465 

In his later years he was known as Deacon Waters. He was a 
large land owner and the registry of deeds shows he sold altogether 
more than 800 acres. He married, June 14, 1764, Sara Goodell, 
daughter of Capt. Samuel Goodell of Sutton. Oil portraits of 
himself and his wife were exhibited at the Centennial Exhibition. 
He died, Apr. 29, 1799. His grave in the West Millbury cemetery 
was visited in September, 1912, by his great-great-grandson, 
William Howard Taft, then President of the United States. 

Asa Waters, the Second 

Asa Waters, the second, was born in Sutton, November 2, 1769, 
probably in the house of his father, the first Asa Waters, at the 
southeast corner of West Main and Rhodes Streets. He developed, 
to a remarkable degree, skill and ingenuity in the trade which 
seemed hereditary in his family for several generations, that of 
gun making. He and his elder brother, Elijah, had learned that 
trade in the shop of their father on Singletary Stream. The 
brothers in 1797 purchased the neighboring water power on the 
Blackstone river. This purchase included the site of their future 
armory, and as well the gristmill long a landmark on the east side 
of Main Street and on the north bank of the river where the road 
crosses it, and also the land between the river and Elm Street as 
far east as the Cordis dam. They made guns, scythes, saw mills 
saws and like products. 

In 1808 they built the armory which gave its name to the village 
and contributed so much to its prosperity. The same year they 
undertook their first contract with the national government to 
supply firearms for the army. Elijah after a long illness died in 
1814 and Asa became the sole proprietor. His son, the third 
Asa Waters, in an article upon Gun Making ("Journal of Progress," 
Philadelphia, June, 1887) thus describes his father's work: 

"Possessing great physical strength, unusual energy and 
mechanical talent, he introduced various improvements in gun 
making, which wrought great changes. * * * * Two only will 
be referred to. Gun barrels were welded and forged up to this 
time entirely by hand power, the super having two strikers. All 
this was in the recollection of the writer. On October 25, 1817, 
he was granted letters patent for his invention for welding gun 
barrels under trip hammers with concave dies, striking four hun- 
dred blows a minute and controlled by a foot treadle. This 



30 



466 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

patent was signed by James Monroe, President, John Quincy 
Adams, Secretary of State, and Richard Rush, Attorney General. 
This invention was copied by all the armories of the United States 
and in Europe, and his claim to originality has never been disputed. 
In the following year, 1818, observing that the English process of 
grinding the barrels down before a revolving stone left the metal 
of uneven thickness around the calibre, and thus liable to explode, 
he invented a lathe to turn the barrel to uniform thickness. 
This patent, December 21, 1818, ****** wa s the first patent 
ever issued for turning a gun barrel in a lathe, save one which was 
a failure. This proved a success so far as the gun barrel was 
round." 

Years later, when the wonderful inventions of Thomas Blanchard 
for turning the irregular end of the gun barrel and the wooden gun 
stock, had come into general use and knowledge, claims were made 
to deprive Millbury of the honor of being the place of the discovery 
of this new principle in practical mechanics. (See p. 412 for letter 
from Maj. Wright to Col. Asa H. Waters.) 

The first contract by the United States for the making of guns 
in Millbury was dated September 8, 1808, and called for the 
delivery of 1000 stands of arms, i. e. a musket and bayonet com- 
plete, of a certain pattern, in each of the following five years, the 
price of each to be $10.75, delivered at Springfield, after a full 
and correct inspection by officers appointed for the purpose who 
should certify accordingly. Such contracts, made with Asa Waters 
for periods of five years, were continued during thirty-seven years 
and meant much to the prosperity of Millbury assuring steady 
work for a body of skilled mechanics. 

By the contract made in 1818, two thousand stands were to be 
delivered each year during the term of the contract, the barrels 
should be proved before acceptance, and delivery was to be made 
at the Watertown arsenal or its vicinity. The price was $14.00 
per stand with additional compensation for boxing and transpor- 
tation from Millbury. Mr. Waters also agreed to give the free 
right to work under his patent for welding gun barrels wherever 
guns were made for the United States government. 

Writing to the Ordnance department twenty years later (1838) 
Mr. Waters states that the saving to the government by the use 
of his patent was 133^ cents for each barrel welded at Harper's 
Ferry Arsenal, and that at that same rate the annual saving to 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, T— W 467 

the government was about $5,000 on the guns made for the 
United States, and that if the method had been adopted at Harper's 
Ferry when adopted at Springfield the government would have 
saved $150,000 at the former place. 

In the contract of January 1, 1829, the price was $12.25 for 
each stand, including bayonet, flints, screw drivers, wipers, ball 
screws and spring vices. 

February 7, 1840, Asa Waters and Son made a contract with the 
chief of the Ordnance department to manufacture 15,000 pistols, 
to be delivered in parcels of 750 and at the rate of 3,000 per year. 
The price of each pistol with its appendages was $7.50, and the 
expense of proving, inspecting, packing and transporting was 
to be paid by the government.

Mr. Waters developed four water powers on the Blackstone 
river, viz.: 

1. The Stillwater, which successively gave power to the "flan- 
nel mill," the Stillwater Mill, the sash and blind shop, etc., and 
where the Felters Works and Millbury Machine Shop now stand. 

2. The Armory, later the Atlanta Mills, etc., immediately west 
of South Main Street. 

3. The Cordis Mills. 

4. The Wilkinsonville. For all of these Mr. Waters built 
dams and water ways. 

He founded the Millbury Bank in 1825, was its largest stock- 
holder and its first president. He was a representative to the 
Legislature in 1823. He was one of the largest land owners in 
the county, and gave the site for the Academy at the northwest 
corner of Elm and Waters Streets. This deed was conditioned 
upon its continued use for educational purposes. 

The residence Mr. Waters built for himself was the stateliest 
in the county. A fine colonnade of the composite order distin- 
guishes the entrance front, and its carved entablature is carried 
about the main house, with pilasters at the corners. Above the 
main cornice a third or attic story is crowned by another carved 
cornice and an ornamental fence. All is most unusual in its aca- 
demic correctness and skillful treatment. This is one of the latest 
examples of the colonial period, that is, of the English Georgian 
style adapted to a wooden architecture. The two neighboring 
residences are in the Greek temple fashion which prevailed through- 
out New England five years later. The architect was Mr. Bryant 
of Boston, who the same year built the first railroad in America, 
that for carrying granite blocks to be used in the Bunker Hill 
monument. Capt. Louis Bigelow of Worcester was the master 
builder. Two years were taken for gathering materials. The 
frame was raised in June, 1826, and a large company collected, 



470 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

the Rev. Mr. Goffe offered a prayer, and a collation was served. 
The reader should recall that this was before railroads existed or 
even the slow moving canal boat. Everything brought into 
Millbury came by wagon. Hence the use of hard pine from the 
South, mahogany from Central America, marble from Italy and 
brick from Baltimore was an unprecedented proceeding so far 
from tide water. Woodworking machinery had not been invented, 
therefore boards and mouldings, joinery and carving had all to be 
slowly wrought by hand. The finishing lumber was made of 
pumpkin pine from Maine, an ideal material for the purpose, the 
clear wide soft pine, no longer found in our markets. Mr. Waters 
enjoyed his Thanksgiving of 1829 in his new house, but its com- 
pletion was not celebrated until 1832, when numerous musicians, 
vocal and instrumental, were engaged, an original ode written by 
the host was printed, and was sung by a choir led by Capt. Tim- 
othy Longley. A general invitation was extended, and large 
numbers attended from this and neighboring towns. Mr. Waters 
always regarded Christmas with great veneration and hence the 
day was selected for his house warming. Visitors flocked to the 
completed house as to a wonder. Gov. Levi Lincoln invited Daniel 
Webster and a party of prominent officials to ride down from Wor- 
cester to see the house. When Henry Clay, the great apostle of 
a protective tariff, visited New England in 1835, he held a reception 
in the east parlor and the manager of the Cordis Mill presented 
him with a roll of fine broadcloth made in Millbury. During the 
palmy days of the New England Lyceum lectures, Agassiz and 
other famous lecturers were entertained here. It has been a hos- 
pitable household to which gathered kindred scattered from the 
Bosphorus to the Pacific. In later years the granddaughter of 
the builder of the mansion has there entertained a President of the 
LTnited States, William Howard Taft, and the inventor of that most 
marvelous of inventions, the telephone, Dr. Alexander Graham 
Bell. 

" Asa Waters possessed a mind of uncommon strength and com- 
prehensiveness. It was a mind conscious of power and delighted 
in its own activity. It was always at work and always bringing 
out some result indicative of itself. And there was always about 
it something noble and far reaching. No one could listen to his 
conversation without being struck by it. And it was especially 
apparent in his business. These qualities of his mind enabled him 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, T~W 471 

to transact such an amount and variety of business and to do it 
with propriety. To his enterprise especially is to be attributed 
the manufactures which constitute the chief support of the village 
in which he lived and indeed the village itself of which they were 
the origin. He was distinguished for his energy and perseverance. 
Obstacles which anyone else would have deemed insurmountable, 
it seemed to be his delight to conquer and overcome. It is no small 
praise to say that a man of such extensive business transactions, 
and extending through so long a period, had the confidence of all 
with whom he had dealings as a man of strict honesty and upright- 
ness. When came a reverse in his business under circumstances 
which would have enabled him to effect a favorable compromise 
with his creditors, he refused to avail himself of such an advantage 
but resumed business with the encumbrance upon him and paid 
to the full every such claim. Such an act of integrity deserves to 
be published as a tribute to the memory of the dead and for the 
imitation of the living. His public spirit which made him the 
efficient friend of whatever related to the good of the community, 
his attachment to the institutions of religion and the cheerful and 
liberal support which he always lent to them, his generous and 
open hearted hospitality, those who knew him will long remember." 
{The Rev. S.G.Buckingham, his pastor, inthe" Worcester Palladium," 
December, 181+1 .) 

Asa Waters married May 19, 1802, Susan Holman, daughter 
of Col. Jonathan Holman. 

Asa Waters, the second, died on Christmas Eve, 1841. His 
last words were: " I am going from this room to one above. " 

Asa Holman Waters (1808-1887) 
The third Asa 8 Waters (Asa 7 , Asa 6 , Jonathan 5 , Nathaniel 4 , 
John 3 , Richard 2 , James 1 ) was born in the north parish of Sutton, 
now Millbury, February 8, 1808. His mother was Susan Holman, 
daughter of Col. Jonathan Holman, commander of the Sutton 
regiment in the war of the Revolution. Christened simply Asa, 
to distinguish his name from that of his father and grandfather, 
in 1833 he added a middle name by authority of the legislature 
and became legally Asa Holman Waters. 

He prepared for college at Munson Academy and entered Yale 
with the class of 1829. He took high rank in scholarship, was a 
member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society and secretary of its Yale 



472 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

chapter. At commencement he was orator. Soon after graduating 
from college he became associated with his father in the gun 
business. Later he studied at the Harvard Law School, was 
admitted to the bar in 1835 and had arranged to open a law office 
in New York City, when his father's ill health made necessary his 
return to assist in the Armory business. He became a partner with 
his father in 1837 under the firm name of Asa Waters & Son. 

This continued until the death of the father in 1841. Asa 
Holman Waters then organized the firm of A. H. Waters & Co., 
to continue the armory business. This partnership lasted many 
years. The policy of the national government since 1808 had been 
to supplement the manufacture of fire arms at the two arsenals, 
Springfield and Harper's Ferry, by contracts with six private 
armories of which the Waters armory was one. Suddenly with- 
out proper warning the system which had prevailed for thirty- 
seven years was abandoned in 1845, no more contracts were made 
with the private armories, and their proprietors found their estab- 
lishments without government employ, their invested capital 
useless, and the body of skilled mechanics without work in then- 
special trade. This was a serious blow to the prosperity of Mill- 
bury. Colonel Waters had to find other uses for his shops, his 
water power and his plant. The explanation of this unexpected 
conduct on the part of the United States ordnance department, 
a story of scandal in high places, is given in the History of Sutton, 
p. 575. But other uses were found for the property, and the old 
Armory grounds continued the busy center of Armory Village. 
At the outbreak of the Civil War the national government had 
urgent need of additional gun factories and Colonel Waters was 
given contracts which kept the old armory again busy days and 
nights, with a force of about two hundred men, making parts of 
guns, ramrods and bayonets to be assembled in complete guns at 
Springfield. Colonel Waters took financial risks, but the contracts 
were profitable. 

Where Asa Waters the Second had what was called his "flannel 
mills," Colonel Waters built the Stillwater Mill which in 1851 
consisted of three buildings on ground now occupied by the 
Millbury Machine Shop and the brick portion of the Felter's 
Works. The mill was burned in 1868. Following the loss of the 
government arms contracts in 1847, Colonel Waters built and 
operated the Waters Cotton Mills, the buildings now used by the 
Linen Mills. 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, T-W 473 

The old Armory was again metamorphosed at the close of the 
Civil War, and Colonel Waters as president organized the Atlanta 
Mills for the manufacture of woolen goods. He was president 
and long a director of the bank founded by his father. Like his 
father and grandfather he was a large owner of real estate. His 
commission as postmaster of Millbury ran from 1836 to 1848. 
Postage stamps were introduced by the British post-office in 1840, 
and by the United States in 1847. For a few years preceding the 
latter date several local offices printed what are called postmasters' 
stamps. One of these Millbury stamps (1846) has been sold for 
$1500. 

Mr. Waters gained his title of colonel by appointment on the 
staff of Gov. Marcus Morton in 1843. During the following years 
he passed from the Democratic party, through the Free Soil party, 
to the Republican, with which he remained until his death. He 
represented Millbury in the General Court in 1848-49 and in 1853 
was a member of the Constitutional Convention for the amend- 
ment of the state constitution. He took an active part in the 
debates where figured Isaac Davis, Richard Henry Dana, Charles 
Sumner, Henry Wilson and other distinguished publicists. Through 
the years of the great anti-slavery struggle preceding the war, he 
was a frequent and persuasive speaker at political meetings through- 
out the county. He vigorously participated in the efforts to 
preserve Kansas from the slave power in 1854 and 1855. He was 
always interested in town affairs and for many years took a prom- 
inent part in them. 

April 15, 1861, President Lincoln called for troops to defend the 
Union. On the 19th, the Sixth Regiment Massachusetts Militia 
was attacked in the streets of Baltimore and the first blood of the 
great struggle between the states was there shed. The blanks 
printed by the Commonwealth for the enrollment of additional 
volunteers are dated April 23. Colonel Waters promptly took 
measures to raise a Millbury Company and met the necessary 
outlays. April 27th and 29th, one hundred and seven names 
were affixed to the enlistment paper. (See p. 154.) However, 
the company was not accepted because then and for some time 
afterward only companies belonging to the militia regiments 
already organized were taken into the war service. Many names 
on this early roll were of men who enlisted in later regiments, 
served valiantly in the field and are found on the Millbury Roll 
of Honor, (p. 161.) 



474 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Colonel Waters occupied a leading position in the business of 
Millbury for nearly forty years, passed successfully through the 
trials of the two great panics of 1837 and 1857 and was one of the 
very few who in those times of financial distress paid all his debts 
in full. He retired from active business about 1870 with a good 
property. In the calm of advancing years he found delight in his 
pen and did excellent work with it, contributing to the daily press 
and to the magazines. He maintained a spirited controversy 
with Oliver Johnson, the noted abolitionist of New York, as to how 
much influence Garrison and his partisans exerted in the destruc- 
tion of human slavery in the United States. His articles in "Har- 
per's Monthly" and elsewhere first brought Thomas Blanchard 
and his wonderful inventions to a wider popular understanding. 

In 1874, Colonel Waters, his wife and two unmarried daughters, 
went abroad to visit his married daughter, the wife of Professor 
Grosvenor of Roberts College, and spent two years in Constanti- 
nople and Egypt, at a time when such travel was much less com- 
mon than it has since become. 

Colonel Waters delighted to trace the steps beginning with the 
use of his father's inventions and Blanchard's eccentric lathe in 
the old armory, through successive stages, to the development of 
the peculiarly American system of the interchangeability of parts 
in machinery, that is, where each piece of a machine was so exactly 
duplicated that all the various parts could be assembled complete 
without further fitting. 

He prepared several articles for the "History of Sutton," published 
in 1878, including "Sutton in the Revolution," "Gun-making 
in Sutton and Millbury" and the records of the Waters Family. 
He was also much interested in the preparation of the "History of 
Worcester County," printed in 1879. 

Retired from business he had leisure for entertaining his friends 
and exercising hospitality. From his youth up, he was gifted 
with fine conversational powers. His sense of humor was keen 
and comprehensive and as a story teller few could surpass him. 
His conversation was always bright, entertaining and instructive. 

Colonel Waters married June 27, 1849, Mary Elizabeth Hovey, 
daughter of Daniel and Susan (Jacobs) Hovey of Sutton. He died 
January 17, 1887.

Charles H. Waters 

Charles H. Waters, son of Horace Waters, was born in Millbury, 
in 1828. He received his education in the district school and at 
Wilbraham Academy. He entered a factory at the age of fifteen 
and devoted himself with such zeal to his work that he soon 
became a skillful workman, with a good understanding of the 
processes of manufacture. At the age of eighteen, he was overseer 
in a cotton mill, of which he later had entire charge. In 1848, 
at Little Falls, N. Y., he was engaged in manufacturing articles 
from flax. In 1851, at Jewett City, Conn., he started mills for 
the manufacture of rope and twine. 

When the wire cloth mill was started at Clinton, he went there 
as agent and he did the same work for this industry that H. N. 
Bigelow had done for the manufacture of Brussels and Wilton 
carpeting, that is, he adapted the inventions of E. B. Bigelow to 
the weaving of wire cloth. He also added much directly to these 
inventions and obtained many patents. Indeed, it has been said 
that "the Clinton Wire Cloth Mills were created by Mr. Waters," 
for he was the central force in the corporations, serving twenty- 
two years as manager, and later as president. He superintended 
the construction of the works of the Avery Lactate Company at 
Littleton. 

Mr. Waters married Mary Farnsworth of Groton, in 1853. 
Though he was engaged in business in Clinton, his home was at 
Groton, where he was a foremost citizen, devoted to the interests 
of the community. His death occurred March 13, 1883. 

Deacon Elijah Waters 

Deacon Elijah Waters, son of Asa Waters, senior, was born in 
Sutton, in 1767, and for many years he was one of the chief manu- 
facturers and business men of the town. The various business 
enterprises with which he was connected appear under the indus- 
tries mentioned elsewhere. His success in the iron and gun indus- 
tries show that he was a man who pushed to completion the task 
in which he was engaged. Contemporary with him were his broth- 
er Asa, junior, Joseph Farnsworth, Aaron Trask, and John B. 
Blanchard, a brother of Thomas, the inventor. His home was 
at the corner of Main and Elm Streets. 



476 history of millbury 

Harvey Waters 

Millbury has been the birthplace of many ingenious and useful 
inventions and, among others, those of Harvey Waters justly 
deserve mention. Mr. Waters, son of Dea. Elijah Waters, of 
armory fame, was born July 11, 1804. He resided here, when 
making many of his inventions, but later moved to Boston, where 
he was recognized by the courts as an expert of superior merit in 
litigation concerning patents. One of his inventions has been 
thought worthy to be classed with "Babbages's Calculator," 
pronounced by British critics to be the nearest approach to the 
human intellect of anything ever created by man. 

Pins were formerly made in England by hand and their manu- 
facture had been repeatedly attempted in this country, but 
unsuccessfully, until Mr. Waters invented machinery for making 
them. His first machine made them with solid heads but when 
these were taken to market, he was told that his pins would not 
sell, because they were not like the English pin, which had a fine 
wire head. When he asserted that his style was the best, the reply 
was given that, "'Tis not in fashion, and 'tis useless to argue or 
contend against fashions." He then devised and built a machine 
to make the English pin at one motion from wire of two sizes. 
When he took these newly devised pins to market, he found it 
flooded with English pins selling far below cost. Knowing that it 
cost the English much labor to stick pins to the paper by hand, 
he determined to stick them by machine, for he knew that then 
his two machines would defy all competition. Accordingly, he 
contrived and built such a machine. Into the top of a large hopper 
the pins were poured, shaken down through an opening which 
arranged them in parallel lines, forty-eight pins in a row, all point- 
ing the same way. At one motion the whole was thrust into paper, 
in less time than is required to read this description. Like 
Babbage's calculating machine, this was taught to count rapidly 
and correctly. By this triumph of American genius, the manu- 
facture of pins became permanently established in this country. 
Mr. Waters sold his machines and they were moved to Derby, 
Conn., where the business was continued. While experimenting 
on his pin-machines he occupied a room for a year in one of the 
armory buildings of Asa Waters at Millbury Center. 

Mr. Waters next turned his attention to the manufacture of 
scythes. Hitherto the blades had been drawn out under trip- 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, T-W 477 

hammers, but he conceived the idea of rolling them out between 
grooved rollers and although the curving of the scythe presented 
an obstacle, after years of persistent effort and the trial of many 
ingenious contrivances, he overcame this difficulty and made 
scythes cheaper, if not better, than they had ever been made 
before. 

When the Civil War broke out, Mr. Waters invented a machine 
for rolling bayonet blades which saved grinding and the weapon 
only required buffing. This machine was adopted at once at 
the U. S. Armory in Springfield and by many private contractors. 
Of the bayonets made during the war hundreds of thousands were 
rolled out on Mr. Waters' machine. 

Horace Waters 

Horace Waters, son of Elder Samuel Waters, who was a man- 
ufacturer and agriculturist, was born in Millbury, in 1799. He 
received his education in the schools of his native town and assisted 
his father on the farm and in the mill. In 1831, he became con- 
nected with the firm of Waters & Goodell, manufacturers of 
broadcloth, and continued with them for some time. In 1856, 
he succeeded to the business in partnership with the Hon. Hosea 
Crane. For nearly half a century he was connected with the 
business and religious affairs of the town, being a strong advocate 
of temperance. His residence on Rhodes Street is now owned 
by Francis H. Rice, of the firm of Edward F. Rice & Co. 

Jonathan Edwards Waters 

Jonathan Edwards Waters was born and resided on the farm 
which had been settled first by his great-grandfather, Jonathan 
Waters. This was situated at the top of the hill which rises from 
Singletary Lake and descends again to the Ramshorn Stream 
(in 1915, owned by Clifford R. Harris). This homestead, so long 
in the possession of the Waters family, was also the birthplace of 
Asa Waters, senior, the Revolutionary gun-maker. Though 
descended from that line of the family which had as its ancestor, 
Richard Waters, gun-maker, of Salem, Mr. Waters, with the 
exception of a short period spent at making shoes at Grafton, was 
engaged in farming. He was a nephew of Elijah Waters, the 
benefactor of the First Congregational Church. 



478 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

For many years he was active in church and town affairs, often 
acting as moderator in the town meetings. He served as select- 
man and as highway surveyor. He was one of three who surveyed 
the roads of the town and placed markers at the angles. 

As a farmer he was the most extensive fruit raiser in the town 
and in particular he raised a great number of apples. 

Genial and courteous, a man of strong convictions, he was one 
whom it was well for the town to have as a citizen. 

Osgood H. Waters 

Osgood Herrick Waters, son of Horace Waters, was born in 
Millbury, Oct. 13, 1835. He was named for the Rev. Osgood 
Herrick, one of the early ministers of the First Church. After 
receiving his education in the public schools he entered the knitting 
mill of his father, in which he worked thereafter. He was an 
active member of the Republican party and was honored by its 
members with many positions of trust. He represented his native 
place in the legislature of 1884. He was a member of several 
town committees, and the building committee of the present 
schoolhouse at Bramanville. He was a director of the Merchant's 
& Farmer's Insurance Company. As a deacon of the First Con- 
gregational Church he sought to advance religious work in the 
community and for a long time he was a teacher in the Sunday 
School of the Church in which one of the Bible classes still bears 
his name. Mr. Waters married Miss Ellen Crane. They had 
one child, Miss Carolyn Waters. He died in August, 1895, and 
Mrs. Waters in January, 1912. 

Simeon Waters 

'Squire Simeon Waters, son of Abram Waters, was born in 
Sutton, in 1775. He married Sarah, daughter of Asa Waters, Sr. 
From early deeds and records we find that he was consulted for 
neighborly advice and that he exerted a strong influence in the 
community. In religious matters he ever showed a loyal interest. 
He was contemporary with Stephen and Thomas Blanchard, 
Capt. Joseph Griggs, Capt. Amasa Wood, and General Burbank. 
His son, Simeon Sylvester, was for many years a resident of the 
West Village, but the later years of his life were passed in Wellesley.

Dr. Geo. C. Webber 

Dr. George Clark Webber was born in Hallowell, Me., Nov. 15, 
1837. He was a son of the Rev. George W T ebber, D. D., a highly 
honored member of the Maine Methodist Conference and for 
sixteen years a presiding elder. He prepared for college at Wes- 
leyan Seminary, Kent's Hill, Me., and was graduated from 
Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn., in 1860. After his 
college course he was principal of Brainard Academy at Hadem, 
Conn., for two years, after which he entered the Harvard Medical 
School, graduating in 1863. At intervals after his graduation 
from the Harvard Medical School he taught in the schools of 
Maine. He first practiced medicine in Kennebunkport, Me. 
In 1866, he moved to Newton Upper Falls, and, in 1870, he came 
to Millbury. 

During the war, from 1863 to 1865, Dr. Webber served as acting 
assistant-surgeon in the navy. He was assigned to the Kinsing- 
ton and later was transferred to the Commodore Barney. 

He was a member of George A. Custer Post, G. A. R., of Mill- 
bury, and his last public words were addressed to the school 
children at West Millbury on the afternoon preceding Memorial 
Day, in 1895. 

Dr. Webber was a member of Olive Branch Lodge, F. and A. M.; 
of Tyrian Royal Arch Chapter of which he had been high priest; 
and of Adah Chapter, O. E. S. He attended the First Congre- 
gational Church. 

Dr. Webber was the founder of the Millbury Natural History 
Society and its president at the time of his death. Under his 
direction a large number of natural history specimens was col- 
lected. He was elected a member of the Massachusetts Medical 
Society, in 1871. He was also a member of the Worcester County 
Branch and was for some time its president. Dr. Webber was 
one of the strongest advocates for a public supply of water and 
was one of the committee that reported in favor of having the town 
construct its own water system. As a physician and an educator 
he was esteemed not only within the limits of the town but also 
beyond its borders. 

Dr. Webber married, in Maine, Nov. 24, 1864, Sarah P. Leavitt. 
They had a son, Howard, and a daughter, Carrie. Dr. Webber 
died at Millbury in June, 1895. 



480 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Charles A. Whitney 
Charles Amos Whitney was a son of Col. John Whitney of 
Princeton. As a young man he entered the employ of A. Wood 
& Sons, shoe manufacturers, with whom by diligence and skill 
he became foreman in the cutting department. He moved to 
Chicago and engaged in business for himself until the great fire 
in that city. Later he returned to Millbury and engaged in farm- 
ing in West Millbury on the Jonathan E. Waters place. Here 
on one of the best farms in town he remained for several years, 
until failing health compelled him to abandon the pursuit of agri- 
culture. He served on the board of selectmen for several years 
and as tax collector, holding that office at the time of his death. 
(See Genealogy.) 

Thomas Windle 

Thomas Windle, manufacturer and business man, was at the 
head of the firm of Thomas Windle & Son, which carried on a wool 
scouring business on the Ramshorn stream. He was born in 
Burnley, Eng., March 6, 1845. He learned the trade of wool 
sorter at Cherry Valley. In 1862, he enlisted in K Co., 25th 
regiment Mass. volunteers, with which he performed hard service 
and suffered seriously from malaria contracted in the Dismal 
Swamp. In 1875, he began the manufacture of woolen cloth at 
Baltic, Ct., in company with his brother-in-law, Edwin Hoyle, 
under the firm name of Hoyle & Windle. Later, he was in the 
same business in Millville, Hopeville, Ct., and in Woodville, R. I. 
He came to West Millbury in 1880, and later bought the old tan- 
nery property owned by Salem Griggs, which he converted into 
a wool-scouring mill. He was widely-known among the wool- 
men, especially throughout New England, and New York. 

He was a Master Mason and a charter member of General Thom- 
as Post, G. A. R., of Leicester. 

He married, in 1866, Hannah M. Buckley, daughter of Charles 
and Sarah Buckley, who were natives of England. 

(See Genealogy.) 

Augustus S. Winter 

Augustus S. Winter, for many years a prominent business man, 

as a young man entered the employ of Silas Dunton, who was 

then engaged in the dry goods and grocery business in Randall 

Block. Mr. Winter was later employed by Crane & Aldrich in 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, T-W 481 

the same store. Some years afterward, he started the Union 
Store at Bramanville. He later became the sole proprietor, 
making this one of the leading stores in town in the grocery and 
dry goods business. Since his death the store has been carried 
on by his son, Alvan J. Winter. He owned the Millbury Grain 
Company. 

Mr. Winter accumulated a fortune in business. He was well 
known in towns nearby from which he received considerable 
trade. A financier of much ability, he was a trustee in the Mill- 
bury Savings Bank, and a director in the Millbury National Bank. 

Mr. Winter was a prominent Mason having been a past master 
of Olive Branch Lodge, F. and A. M., and a member of Worcester 
Commandery, Knights Templar. 

He married, in 1868, Sarah F. Moody, of Northbridge. 

Capt. Amasa Wood 

Amasa Wood was born at Upton, in 1784. His early days were 
spent much after the manner of the young men of those times, 
farming pursuits engaging much of the time during the year, with 
limited school attendance in winter. 

He married Sarah Foristall of Bellingham, in 1811. About 
1808 he moved to Sutton, in the part which is now known as West 
Millbury, and engaged in farming and the manufacture of shoes. 
The room in which this work was done was what is now known 
as the west room or parlor of the Wood mansion, now owned by 
Charles F. Soule. As these were the primitive days of the manu- 
facture of shoes in Millbury, the number of persons then employed 
was small. Every part of the work was done by hand, except that 
of rolling the soles. Mr. Wood carried on the business for some 
time alone, but was subsequently joined by his brother Asa, who 
with his family moved to West Millbury. 

For some time they pursued this line of business together, but 
the families of both increased by the addition of numerous chil- 
dren, and the house accommodations were somewhat limited, so 
that the partnership was dissolved, and Asa returned to Upton. 
Soon after, the business was removed to another part of the house 
in which it was carried on for many years. The difference between 
the manufacture of shoes then and now may be realized from the 
fact that at that time the goods were carried in saddle-bags upon 
horse-back to Boston and Providence. Many years ago Captain 



31 



482 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Wood exhibited with much pride the old saddle-bags used on 
these occasions. The fatigue of these journeys was somewhat 
relieved by the numerous taverns along the routes, in which in 
those days burned the great back-log fires roaring up the chimneys, 
around which were gathered the settlers who solaced themselves 
by numerous mugs of old time flip, brought to the acme of per- 
fection by the old time seething flip-iron. Upon these journeys, 
which occupied about a week's time, Captain Wood was often 
entrusted with business for the settlers nearby and often car- 
ried considerable sums of money. His arrival home was the 
occasion for a gathering of neighbors and friends to hear the news 
from along the route, to get the prices, and to congratulate the 
captain on his safe arrival home. Increasing business later de- 
manded better accommodations so a shop was built close by 
and the number of persons employed was increased. A portion 
of this shop is included in the present barn. The barn formerly 
stood on the opposite side of the street. 

Becoming associated with his brother Ezekiel, who was in busi- 
ness in the South, he shipped goods to Georgia, and other southern 
states. Captain Wood was also connected with the late Captain 
Griggs and others in the tanning and currying of leather in a shop 
that was to the rear of the present brick building and a few rods 
below on the Ramshorn stream, but this partnership was of short 
duration. On March 17, 1833, this shop was burned with all its 
contents, but it was soon rebuilt, and business again started. His 
son, Amasa C, became associated with him in business. The 
eldest son was engaged in business in Georgia. 

The financial crisis of 1837 came like a cloud upon the business 
of the country and the firm of A. Wood & Son was embarrassed 
but brighter times appeared so that the firm was again established 
and the following prosperous years placed it upon a sure founda- 
tion. His other sons, William H. and Samuel A., were in the shoe 
business in the South. Subsequently, another son, John G., was 
engaged in the currying business near his father's shop and some 
time later he became a partner in the firm of A. Wood & Son. 
The shop was enlarged and a general country store was added to 
the already considerable business, which amounted to many 
thousands of dollars annually. The quality of the goods made 
by them was such that throughout the cotton states, the West, 
and California, shoes bearing the name of "A. Woods & Son" 
were looked upon as ne plus ultra. 



INDEPENDENT SKETCHES, T~W 483 

The business interests of A. Wood & Sons were not wholly 
confined to West Millbury, the South and West. For some time 
they operated a large tanner at Halifax, Vt., and still later 
they owned and operated for many years an extensive tanning 
and currying establishment at Williamsville where the leather 
manufactured was of the best quality. A steady progress in the 
business was made, new machinery was added as fast as the in- 
ventive genius of the country brought it forth, and steam power 
was introduced. Thus business progressed, until many of the 
people of West Millbury and the surrounding towns were engaged 
in their employ. 

The death of Captain Wood occurred in 1856. He was a man 
widely known and respected and held many positions of honor and 
trust within the gift of his fellow-citizens. He was commissioned 
as captain in the Massachusetts militia in early life. He was on 
the board of selectmen for some years, and was honored with a 
seat in the legislature of the Commonwealth. 

Captain Wood was one of the old school gentlemen in every 
sense of the term, polite and affable to all with whom he came in 
contact, and a lover of children. He was emphatically a self- 
made man, with good natural abilities. By his death, the town 
of Millbury lost one who, for a long period, faithfully served its 
interests and who was instrumental in helping the town toward 
that prosperity which it now enjoys. He liberally gave to the 
church and every good enterprise that was presented to him. He 
was a constant friend of the American Peace Society and annually 
gave to its support. 

In personal appearance Captain Wood was a tall, thick set man 
weighing when in his prime about two hundred fifty pounds. He 
had a kindly expression of countenance which, combined with his 
genial presence, made him truly one of the best of men. 

Mr. William H. Wood moved to California where he became 
engaged in an extensive wholesale business. Mr. Charles V. Wood 
became engaged in business at Macon, Georgia. 

(See Genealogy.) 

John Goodell Wood 

John Goodell Wood, son of Capt. Amasa Wood, was engaged in 
currying leather in a shop near his father's factory at West 



484 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Millbury. He was afterwards made a member of the firm of A. 
Wood & Sons and continued in the manufacture of shoes with 
that firm until about 1880. 

Mr. Wood was widely known as a lover of good horses and he 
was the first to introduce expensive and pure-blooded race horses 
into the town. He purchased the stallion, "Charles Backman, " 
when it was only a ten-months-old colt for five thousand dollars. 
He raised "Lady Ellen" that trotted a mile in 2.28. He also 
owned the widely known gray mare, "Lady Sontag. " He was 
also interested in thoroughbred sheep and cattle for he introduced 
into the town South-down sheep of pure blood. He also introduced 
full-blooded short-horned Durham cattle, owning a monster bull 
that weighed 2,200 pounds and cost him five hundred dollars, as 
well as a cow, " Lady Chesterfield, " that cost six hundred dollars. 
The prices then paid for such stock were lower than they would be 
today. His horses were cared for by Newell White who was noted 
for his beard of unusual length. 

The estate formerly owned and occupied by Mr. Wood con- 
tained about two hundred acres. Many years ago the house, 
which is over one hundred years old, was thoroughly repaired at 
great expense. The estate is now occupied by Mr. Charles F. 
Soule. 

Mr. Wood purchased the West Congregational Church building 
when its use for church purposes was discontinued. He moved 
this to the site of the Rich mill on Ramshorn Stream and started 
a cotton mill which he operated.

CEMETERIES 495 



CHAPTER XXXIV 
CEMETERIES 

The oldest burial-places within the bounds of Millbury 
are the Providence Street, or County Bridge; the Dwin- 
nel; and the West Millbury cemeteries. The oldest of 
these places, as the stones now standing show, is the 
Dwinnel cemetery. That on Providence Street (the 
County Bridge) is next in age and the one at West Mill- 
bury is third. These three "God's acres" of the early 
days in North Parish, Sutton, are not much more in 
area than that name implies. 

Dwinnel Cemetery 

The Dwinnel cemetery is located close to the northerly 
road running from Millbury to Auburn, about a mile 
from the Greenwood Crossing of the Providence & Wor- 
cester Railroad. This quiet spot is the resting place of 
many members of the early families, including Revolution- 
ary soldiers, both officers and privates, as well as soldiers 
in other wars. The place is now but little used. 

Among the soldiers of the Revolution here buried are 
Solomon Dwinnel, Joshua Carter, Robert Goddard, Dr. 
James Freeland, Capt. James Greenwood, the Hollands, 
the Bancrofts and the Bonds. The place was neglected 
until 1861, when, on June 21st, the proprietors deeded it 
to the town for one hundred dollars ($100). The names 
given in the deed were, Henry K. Greenwood, Daniel G. 
Livermore, Andrew P. Garfield, Sullivan Bancroft, Henry 
L. Bancroft, Anson G. Livermore, L. Dwinnel, S. Dwinnel, 
Amasa Bond, Amasa Richardson, and George W. Mc- 
Cracken. 

Following is a list of the names of those interred in the 
Dwinnell cemetery.

County Bridge Cemetery 
The County-Bridge Cemetery is pleasantly located 
along the Blackstone River. It was early used by fam- 
ilies in the southeastern part of Sutton and in it lie buried 
the remains of many representatives of the old families 
who were once prominent in the business, military, politi- 
cal, and social life of the region. In this enclosure lie 
the remains of Amos Singletary, the first white child born 
in what is now the town of Millbury. Among other 
families are the Dudleys, the Goodales (or Goodells), 
the Marches, the Rawsons, and the Stiles. The remains 
of Capt. Abijah Burbank are interred here together with 
those of thirteen other soldiers of the Revolutionary 
struggle. From Reuben R. Dodge of Sutton, who copied 
some inscriptions here, we learn that " ancestors of the 
well-known Chase family are buried here. Daniel Chase 
was the progenitor of bishop Philander Chase and judge 
Salmon P. Chase, formerly Secretary of the Treasury 
(of the United States, afterwards Chief Justice of the 
Supreme Court of the United States), also George L. 
Chase, the well-known president of the Hartford Insurance 
Co. Ebenezer Rawson, the well-known antiquarian and 
historian, has a large marble headstone in the center of 
the cemetery." 



500 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

Very few burials have been made here lately, but new 
stones have been erected and the general appearance of 
the place has been much improved.

West Millbury Cemetery 

This cemetery was a part of the original Solomon 
Holman farm but the Holmans allowed other families 
to use it. On March 3rd, 1845, the town voted to appro- 
priate the sum of $60.00 "to repair the fences and pur- 
chase the right which Elijah Holman has in the 'Grass 
Hill' burying-ground. " Simeon Waters, Win. M. Ben- 
edict and Hervey Pierce were chosen as a committee to 
see that this vote was carried out. Although the S60. 00 
was expended, the right of Mr. Holman was not pur- 
chased, for in 1851 Mr. Elijah Holman deeded it to certain 
proprietors. 

In this cemetery lie buried some whose names were a 
power in the early days of Millbury. Among these are 
Gen. Caleb Burbank, who gave the town its name, Jona- 
than Holman, a Revolutionary colonel, and several 
patriots who marched at the call from Lexington, such 
as Capt. Samuel Trask, Lieut. Joel Tainter, Lieut. Asa 
Waters (1st), Capt. Andrew Elliott, Abram Waters, 
Capt. Samuel Small, and Dea. John Pierce, also Colonial, 
Revolutionary, and Civil war soldiers. Twenty-one graves 
of Revolutionary heroes are marked and eight of those 
who fought in the Civil war. Other prominent men 
whose remains were interred here include Capt. Joseph 
Griggs, Capt. Amasa Wood, Aaron Pierce, the first town 
clerk, the Rev. Osgood Herrick. Two colored people are 
known to rest here, one a Revolutionary soldier, Peter 
WUlard, and the other Dolly Harris, once a slave from 
Georgia, who was partly owned by Capt. Amasa Wood. 
She came to Millbury with the captain's brother and 
never returned South, but spent the rest of her life with 
the family of Captain Wood, highly respected by young 
and old in the village. She was thought to be one hun- 
dred years old at the time of her death. Mrs. John 
Hinds, whose body is buried here, was over 100 years 
old when she died. 



506 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

The fact that the cemetery had been transferred to 
proprietors had been lost sight of by the townsmen for 
many years, and up to the spring of 1912, it was supposed 
that it was the property of the town and the commission- 
ers of cemeteries had had it in charge. In that year, 
however, it became known that the cemetery was pri- 
vately owned and the commissioners declined to give it 
further service, except to care for the few perpetual-care 
lots. 

In that year a meeting of the heirs was held and a co- 
mittee consisting of George I. Stowe, Henry W. David- 
son, and Henry W. Glover was chosen to see what could 
be done toward putting the cemetery in good condition. 
Subscriptions were called for from former and present 
residents and from relatives of those buried here. Among 
those who responded was President William H. Taft, 
a descendant of the Waters and the Holmans. 

A new wall was laid in cement, with iron gates replacing 
the old wooden ones and the old stile. The old foot-stones 
were removed, headstones were reset, if needed, and all 
the broken ones were replaced. The grounds were graded 
and seeded anew, so that this burial-place of the fathers 
no longer shows any trace of what Whittier says in his 
poem of "The old Burying-ground " : 

"The drearest spot in all the land 
To Death they set apart 
With scanty grace from Nature's hand 
And none from that of Art. " 

On the afternoon of Nov. 2, 1912, the proprieters, their 
heirs, and others interested in the cemetery, met at the 
Union Chapel, West Millbury, and formed an association 
for the perpetual care of the cemetery. The committee 
in charge of the improvements reported. 

The future care of the cemetery was put in the hands 
of trustees, consisting of George I. Stowe, chairman, 
Henry W. Glover, Henry W. Davidson, and William H.

Central Cemetery 
The Central cemetery is situated on the Western bank 
of the Blackstone river, across a bridge that is near the 
junction of Waters, West and River streets. It is con- 
veniently located and easy of access. In the develop- 
ment of the town the time had arrived when the need of 
more room for interment was felt in some place near the 
center of the town. At the annual town meeting, held 
March 6, 1843, it was voted "That the selectmen be a 
committee to purchase forthwith for the use of the town, 
a piece of ground suitable for a burying-ground, that 
they lay out such portions of it as they see fit for private 
use, and sell the same for the purpose of first paying for the 
ground, and that the balance, if any, be appropriated to 
rendering the ground suitable and convenient." 



518 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

The selectmen attended to their duty for we find the 
following on the town records. "Asa H. Waters, ad- 
ministrator of the estate of Asa Waters, Esq., deeded to 
the town, for a cemetery, a piece of land said to contain 
3 acres and 122 rods, more or less. Deed dated Dec. 1, 
1843, (signed) A. H. Waters. Witnesses, T. J. Harring- 
ton, Simon Farnsworth. Recorded, Dec. 4, 1843," The 
price paid for the land above was $94.06. At an ad- 
journed town meeting held April 1, 1844, it was voted 
"that the selectmen be authorized to purchase 3 and 34 
acres of land near the new cemetery, if it can be purchased 
for the same sum per acre, that was paid for the lot pur- 
chased last year." 

It was also voted "that the finishing of the new ceme- 
tery, building of fences, making roads, and all other busi- 
ness and labor to be done, in order to complete the new 
cemetery, be left with the present board of selectmen, 
to finish in a good, substantial and workmanlike manner. " 

April 4th, 1854, Asa H. Waters, for $514.06 deeded four 
acres and eighteen square rods of land adjoining Cen- 
tral cemetery to the town (deed recorded May 30, 1854). 

Under the care of the various commissioners who have 
had charge of this cemetery it has been adorned so that 
it is now well kept and beautiful. 

St. Bridget's Cemetery 
The Cemetery used by our Roman Catholic fellow- 
citizens is along the Blackstone river adjoining Central 
Cemetery. In 1864, permission was given by the town to 
open this place for burial purposes. Previously, the 
people of the Roman Catholic faith made use of the Cen- 
tral Cemetery and St. John's Cemetery in Worcester. 
After the opening of St. Bridget's Cemetery, however, 
some bodies were taken from the Central cemetery and 
re-interred in the new one, set apart for that purpose. 
The first burial in St. Bridget's Cemetery was that of 
Mary Ann Reardon, aged nineteen years, whose body 
was interred July 22, 1864.

GENEALOGY 



GENEALOGY 

In the following genealogy those names have been includ- 
ed that were returned to the committee after blanks had 
been distributed to all, hence there is no attempt at a 
complete record of Millbury persons, even during the time 
of their residence in the town. So far as possible, each 
individual is recorded under his own family name, although, 
in a few instances, a wife's parents are recorded under the 
family name of her husband. Usually, a wife's name is 
given both under her maiden family name and under her 
married family name and a reference from one to the other 
is indicated by the abbreviation q.v. (quid vide — which see). 
The other abbreviations used are self-explanatory. The 
exponent at the right of a name signifies the number of the 
generation in direct descent. Family names only are given 
in the index. 

The number of children in a family is often not complete 
especially when only one is recorded. This is for the reason 
that in most instances only the direct descent is given, omit- 
ting, for instance, the names of brothers and sisters of parents. 

For other data in regard to Millbury families see Vital 
Statistics.

Ramshorn Pond, on which Samuel Darling once resided. This place, con- 
sisting of one hundred and twenty-five acres, under the care of Mr. Dolan and 
his sons, has been brought to a high state of cultivation, so that it has become 
one of the best farms in the western part of the town. It commands a beautiful 
view of the surrounding country. New buildings have been erected, fields 
been cleared and the land has been made highly productive. The place now 
includes part of the last battle-grounds on which was fought the final skirmish 
between the white and red men in the region. On land near by, now owned by 
Edward H. Dolan, a son of Peter Dolan, is the site of the old block house which 
was used at that time. The location, however, is just over the line in Sutton. 

The place is now occupied by children of Mr. Dolan, viz.: Edward H., John, 
and Mary. Edward Dolan is the owner of the land near by, once the home of

GOODELL FAMILY. 

One of the earliest families to settle in the territory now included within the 
limits of Millbury was the Goodell family. Its members were extensive land 
owners near the Blackstone River. Members of the family married with many

prominent and representative of Millbury people. 

Asa Goodell, a soldier in the Revolution, was an early broadcloth manufact- 
urer. Asa Goodell, Jr., and Samuel Goodell held commissions in the militia. 

At the site of the Cordis Mill and that of the Mayo No. 4, the Crane and 
Waters Mill, several by this name have been engaged in successful textile 
work, superior broadcloth, in particular, having been produced.

sions on Grafton St. 

One of the old houses of the town, once occupied by members of this family,

The Holman family was of Welsh origin. Two brothers, Solomon and John,

Rev. Nathan 4 Hohnan (Lt. David, 3 Edward 2 , Solaman 1 ), son of Lieut- 
David 3 and Lucy (Thurston) Hohnan, was born in that part of Sutton which 
is now West Millbury, May 17, 1769, and died Oct. 28, 1844, in Attleboro, 
Mass. He married, Nov. 23, 1801, Lettice Morey, dau. of the Hon. Samuel 
and Mary (Hodges) Morey. She was born Dec. 25, 1768, in Norton, Mass., 
and died Mar. 6, 1848, aged 79. 

Nathan Hohnan labored on his father's farm until his twenty-first year, when 
his ardent thirst for knowledge set him to work to procure a liberal education. 
He could expect but little assistance from his father, who had eleven children, 
but by uncommon adherence to his cherished purpose he succeeded. He was 
graduated from Brown University, Providence, R. I., in 1797, and later took 
the degree of A. M. with distinguished honors. He studied theology with the 
Rev. Dr. Emmons. Oct. 15, 1800, he was ordained in Attleboro, succeeding 
the Rev. Ebenezer Lazell, and labored there for twenty-one years after which 
he was dismissed, May 22, 1821, to the regret of his people, but he continued 
his residence there and supplied vacant pulpits. He died suddenly Oct. 28, 
1844, at the age of 79. His monument is conspicuous in the burying-ground 
north of the meeting-house. A pyramidal shaft has upon it above the usual 
dates the brief inscription, "Look to God." 

The following lines were written by Mr. Hohnan at the end of his freshman 
year and posted in his room at college in 1794. 

"RULES FOR REGULATING MY CONDUCT. 

"I. Never to neglect the addressing myself to the Supreme Governor of the 
Universe, morning and evening. 

"II. To be particularly careful to shun all bad company, such as use pro- 
fane and vulgar language, and are inattentive to their moral conduct. 

"III. Never to speak in a jesting romantic way, but always to speak the 
truth, and in sincerity. 

"IV. Never to make the foibles and imperfections of others the theme of 
discourse, but when others do this, to speak well of the person thus spoken 
against, if possible. 

"V. At all times and in all places to treat every person with proper respect, 
as their station requires. 

"VI. To be particularly careful to keep the Sabbath, avoiding all things 
unnecessary to be performed on that day, and refraining as far as possible from 
the vanities that are so apt to attract the unwary mind. 

"It is my earnest desire that I may pay proper attention to the above rules, 
and I do this day determine, the Grace of God assisting me, that I will follow 
them.

THE PARKE OR PARK FAMILY. 

The Park family, which has been conspicuous in the history of the town, 
dates from the last of the 16th century, or very early in the 17th, when a 
patent was granted conveying the title of Baron of The Exchecquer. About 
the same time a number are recorded as Knights of the Garter; and seven 
Coats of Arms came from the original one. The local line descended from the 
Cambridgeshire branch. Edward was a cousin of Governor Winthrop, of 
Massachusetts. 

The first of the branch to which the local representatives belong who landed 
in this country was named Richard 1 . He landed in what is now Boston, in 
1635, accompanied by his wife, a son, and two daughters. Another son, 



GENEALOGY 579 

apparently, joined them later. He settled upon a tract of land on the bank 
of the Charles River, where Cambridge now is, having a holding of about 
800 acres. 

From him the line descended through Thomas 2 ; Jonathan 3 , of Watertown; 
and Jonathan 4 . Jonathan 4 Park was born in Watertown, or Newton, Mar. 
30, 1695. Coming to Sutton, the portion now Millbury, in 1730, he purchased 
300 acres of land from William Dum; paying therefor 425 pounds. This land 
is described as being part of a grant to Richard Dum, conveyed to Rev. James 
Allen, and as bounded "westerly by the Backquachoag (Blackstone) River, 
and 200 rods south of Worcester." This included what is still known as Park 
Hill, which was so named from the Park homestead on its crest. And the house 
still stands — though many times altered — behind its guard of tall sycamores. 

He was twice married. His second wife, Abigail Smith, was the mother 
of the local line. Children: 1. Jonathan (see below); 2. Sarah, m. Asaph 
Putnam in 1743; 3. Abigail; 4. Phineas (see below); 5. Lucy, m. Benj. Sibley, 
in 1754; 6. Dorcas, m. Joshua Woodbury in 1752; 7. one other. He died 
in Sutton, December 20, 1763. 

Jonathan 6 Park was born in Sutton, Aug. 30, 1722, resided there, died there! 
Mar. 10, 1789. Jan. 28, 1743, he married Lucy Sibley (born Apr. 26, 1726). 
Twelve children: 1. Jonathan (see below); 2. Lucy, m. Andrew P. Putnam, 

Jan. 10, 1764; 3. Reuben (see below); 4. Eleanor, m., first, Ruggles, m. 

second, Joel Johnson, Sept. 27, 1768; 5. Moses (see below); 6. Hannah, m, 

Trask; 7. Aaron (see below); 8. Joshua (see below); 9. Caleb (see 

below); 10. Betsey; 11. Abigail, m. Isaac Willard in 1790; 12. Samuel (see 
below). 

Three of the sons were soldiers of the Revolution: Aaron, Joshua, and 
Caleb. Two of them serving as non-commissioned officers in Colonel Bur- 
bank's regiment, and the third in that of Colonel Learned. 

Of Caleb it is further recorded that he married Ruth Woodward, in 1784, 
and lived at Dixfield, Me., afterward returning to Sutton. 

The men of this generation and the one immediately following were noted 
for their exceptionally large and heavy frame; and many stories have been 
told of their phenomenal strength — especially prominent being Aaron and 
Caleb, and their nephew John. 

Phineas 5 married Ruth Newton, of Shrewsbury, in 1750, and they had ten 
children. Of nine of these there is no record; but Thadeus was baptized 
Jan. 25, 1761, and in after years moved to Chester, Vt., and his wife Ruth lived 
to the great age of 95 years. 

Jonathan 6 Park (Jonathan 6 ) was born in Sutton, Sept. 22, 1743. Pie moved 
to Newfane, Vt., where he died in 1827. He married three times — first, 
Elizabeth Fletcher; second, Sarah Scott; third, Miriam Fiske. Children: 
1. Elizabeth; 2. Lucy; 3. Jonathan; 4. David; 5. Submit; 6. Samuel; 7. 
Lydia; 8. Ephraim; 9. Rhoda; 10. Moses; 11. Nathan F.; 12. Sarah; 13. 
Miriam. 

Reuben* Park (Jonathan 6 ) was born in Sutton, Oct. 12, 1746, and died at 
Bernardston in 1813. He married Mary Barton in 1768. He was a Revolu- 
tionary soldier, serving in Colonel Learned's regiment. Children: 1. Mary; 



580 HISTORY OF MILLBURY 

2. Jonathan; 3. Gracia; 4. Reuben; 5. Simeon (who removed to Ohio); 
6. Levi; 7. Hannah. Of Levi, who was born after his father removed to

Hervey 7 Park (Moses 6 ) was born in Sutton, June 26, 1790. He chose the 
trade of a mechanic, working in the second armory, where he contracted for 
the gun-stocking from Mr. Waters. It was his privilege to make sketches of 
the Blanchard lathe at Springfield and he erected the second machine of its 
kind for the local armory, though it was used but for a short time. He also 
aided Mr. Waters in perfecting a routing machine for making an opening in 
the stock where the lock was placed; and it was this machine which practically 
completed the result, so largely begun by the Blanchard lathe, of doing away 
with the old fashioned handwork. He married Joanna Bobbins, of Mendon. 
Not pleasing his people in either his choice of a trade, or of a wife, he was cut 
off from any share in the ancestral homestead, and was. like many another, 
obliged to begin again. 

Starting with the place where the house of Mr. M. Murphy now stands, after 
work at the armory ceased, he turned his attention to farming and, selling his 
house and lot, he bought the Willard and Wesson farms (formerly belonging 
to Amos Singletary), on the Worcester road, near Dorothy Pond. He moved 
to the farm in 1835, where he died, Sept. 13, 1875. 

He served the town as assessor and in various other minor offices. He was 
one of those who strove repeatedly, from 1823, to organize a Baptist Church 
in town, though no enduring result was obtained till 1835. He was a charter 
member of King Hiram Council of Charlton and Worcester. He was a member

of the first Temperance Society in the country. One of the peculiar rules 
of the society was that at each meeting every member made returns of his 
drinking during the month and if, in the opinion of the meeting, this was too 
much, he was condemned to total abstinence for a set term, or paid a fine. 
He was also a member of the old Millbury Lyceum, and took his turn in ad- 
dressing a meeting, delivering several talks upon various phenomena of 
Natural Philosophy, as Physics was then called. From 1808 until 1838 he 
was a member of the old militia. Children: 1. Lydia, d. aged 19; 2. Her-

summers upon the old homestead, where he is noted as having planted his 
own garden in the 92d year of his age. He died in 1908. He had eight chil-

da Eliza Guild, in 1855, who was born in Augusta, Me., Sept. 2, 1835, and died 
in Millbury in January, 1896. Though primarily a farmer, Mr. Park was also, 
like his father, a mechanic. He was greatly interested in the Farmers' and 
Mechanics' Association of the town and served as its president with the excep- 
tion of three years, occupying that position through the whole life of the Asso- 
ciation until the Grange came to take its place. He was a Royal Arch Mason,
